My Mum is dry retching. She has been told in the past it may be due to a gall stone. Shes 83 years old so the doctor is holding back on surgery. Ive been browsing the web and wondered if Benadryl may help. She has had a stroke last year and has high blood pressure controlled as much as possible with drugs.She will be going to her doctor on Monday. Shes not eating very much so Im going to ring her soon and make sure shes going to drink Hydralyte today. What advice can you give me please.
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Retching could be due to electrolyte abnormality. Correction of fluid, electrolyte and nutritional deficiency do helps to reduce her retching problem.in uncontrollable cases medications are also available, you can discuss with your doctor for that. Regarding gall stones, need for surgery depends on, type of stone, number of stones, size etc. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards
