 Sipping liquids may help avoid vomiting.
 Don’t eat fried, greasy, spicy, or sweet foods.

doctor. They have side effects and may make some kinds of diarrhea worse.
Your doctor may give you anti-nausea medication if you are at risk of being
dehydrated.

medication can be used for symptoms.

16. CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency
procedure that combines chest compressions often
with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually
preserve intact brain function until further measures
are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and
breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
 It is recommended in those who are unresponsive with
no breathing or abnormal breathing, for
example, agonal respirations.
