most helpful answer i would not recommend that you try to rehydrate your mother in this fashion. although there can be some water absorption this method has the potential to make dehydration even worse should it trigger diarrhea. she needs medical intervention now. she needs a medication to curtail the vomiting and she most likely will need iv hydration so taking her to the er would be a prudent move.
my mother who is bed bound has been vomiting for 36 hrs. she cannot keep anything down. can i give her a saline enema? . she cannot speak and has alzheimers. she is 83 yrs old. has been vomiting brown liquid for past 20 hours with no liquid intake. would an emema give her much needed hydration?
