Hydration: Focus on hydration. Clear liquids (water, electrolyte replacement drinks), small sips fairly frequently. Don't push or even try solids until the vomiting has stopped. Make sure they are voiding (peeing) several times per day. If at any point they seem to be getting dehydrated, off to the ED you go.

Clears and zofran (ondansetron): Make sure you give pt clear fluids only and can try zofran (ondansetron) 4 mg 2-3x/day to decrease nausea and vomiting. Give it some time. You need a prescription for zofran (ondansetron)
