Secondly, nausea and vomiting. The reason of it can be low blood pressure, imbalance syndrome etc. Thus, treatment contains three parts, namely taking urgent treatment for patients whose pathogen is low blood pressure; adopting asymptomatic treatment on the basis of pathogen, like applying antemetic; strengthening observation and nursing , so that avoid aspiration.
