What is the treatment for hyperemesis?

Answer by  lauriebrd (12)

Hyperemesis, or persistent vomiting, may lead to dehydration and malnutrition. The treatment is usually intravenous nutrition to provide both fluids and nutrients. A dry mouth may be soothed by sucking on hard candies or ice chips. Sometimes clear liquids, such as jello or popsicles, are tolerated in small amounts.
