When an antiemetic injection is needed
If vomiting persists, seek medical attention. It is important to understand that only a doctor can prescribe antiemetic drugs after finding out the cause of vomiting. In order to make a correct diagnosis, the doctor must examine the baby, assess his condition, understand the probable cause of vomiting, and only after that prescribe an antiemetic. The main thing to remember is that antiemetic drugs do not treat the cause of vomiting, but simply stop the symptoms (nausea, vomiting urges). It is possible to make an injection of an antiemetic drug at the "Mother's House" polyclinics upon a doctor's referral. For effective and quick suppression of nausea attacks, injections of an antiemetic drug are used, which for some time block the center of regulation of vomiting and nausea in the brain.
