Vomiting

Home Care Advice - Clear Liquids

Clear Liquids

  • Try to sip small amounts (1 tablespoon) of liquid frequently (every 5 minutes) for 8 hours, rather than trying to drink a lot of liquid all at one time.
    • Sip water or a rehydration drink (e.g. Gatorade or Powerade)
    • Other options: 1/2 strength flat lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
    • After 4 hours without vomiting, increase the amount.
