When you feel nauseated and bloated, look at the current situation first

  1. Mild discomfort

    Eat small amounts and slowly

    When you can still drink water normally, you can eat small portions slowly, reduce greasiness, and replenish water in small amounts and multiple times.

  2. Persistent or aggravated

    Contact the medical team

    If it affects your diet or life, write down the symptoms, injection date and current dose, and contact the clinic in advance.

  3. A warning has occurred

    Seek medical attention immediately

    If you experience persistent severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, inability to drink water, significantly reduced urine output, or the possibility of fainting, seek medical attention directly.

When a warning occurs, there is no need to try dietary modification first, and do not wait for a reply from LINE. Difficulty breathing or altered consciousness, call 119.

Nursing consensus and source of instructions ↓

First think about it, when is it most uncomfortable?

Did you just get the injection, increase the dose, or finish a fatter and larger meal? Writing down the time will help you figure out why. When symptoms keep getting worse, don’t just think that “it’s just like the injection.”

The portion size is smaller and the speed is slower.

Divide a meal into small portions first, eat in small bites and chew slowly. Stop when you feel almost full, there is no need to eat the whole portion. If fried or fatty meals make you more uncomfortable, cut back first.

Choose light and affordable food

You can try a small amount of porridge or clear noodle soup, paired with eggs or tofu. Drink water in small amounts and frequently. After meals, sit or stand up straight instead of lying down immediately. These methods can help reduce the burden; if abdominal pain persists, the cause still needs to be identified.

If it affects your eating or daily life, please contact the clinic.

Explain how long you have been feeling unwell, how many times you have vomited, whether you can drink water, whether your urine output has decreased, and the latest dosage of medication. The doctor will evaluate whether to adjust the course of treatment, prescribe medication or arrange examinations, so you don’t have to buy your own medicine to suppress your symptoms.

How to describe symptoms to a doctor?

For example: "I had an injection on Monday and started feeling sick after dinner on Tuesday. I vomited twice today and I can still drink water." Then add the name of the medicine, dosage and whether you have abdominal pain. This example is only to help describe the symptoms and cannot be used to determine whether it is safe. If you cannot drink water or if warning signs appear, please seek medical attention directly.

What you can do next

Try smaller portions and slower meals at your next meal. If you still cannot eat or drink, please contact the clinic or seek medical attention in advance.
