Asking For Mother, Female 49, karachi
Hi, My mother tested positive for Covid-19 11 days ago. She has severe metallic taste and vomits when she eats. Is there anything that can help with metallic taste, if not eliminate, so she can eat properly?
Unse bitter taste ki waja se bilkul nahi khaya ja raha. Is taste k lie kia chiz use kar sakte hain jis se ye kam ho jae or wo kha sake? Unko bohot weakness ho rahi hai kiun k is taste ki waja se unhe vomit ho rhi hai.
take Steam and Gargles with mouth wash
taste will recover after some days ..ask her to keep piece of dark chocolate it might help a bit otherwise it will take sometime to recover
Does she has heartburn ?
If yes, we start by controlling heartburn. Acid tends to creep up into the throat and mouth and cause metallic taste. After taking a meal, more is it is produced which tries to come up and increase the sensation of bad taste which triggers vomiting. As a result, the patient tries to evade eating at all.
If there is no acid reflux, Some patients have benefited from clonazepam 0.5mg once daily. But please don’t start this medication just by reading it from here. Consult a Doctor Who will take into account other conditions and other medications your mother might be taking and then make a decision if it is safe.
The answer above is for general understanding and guidance.
try to make him smoothies, immunity boosting smoothies which is liquid diet she can easily swallow
Take Cap. Nexum 40 mg once daily before breakfast for one week
Give syp motilium 2 tsf pre-meals if vomiting persists
if she cannot eat orally take her to hospital they can manage her vomitting and assess need for parenteral nutrition
