A member asked:

My 11 years old sister keeps throwing up white phlegm.what is the reason and how can i stop her from vomiting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nausea and vomiting: You have to make sure she is hydrated. Is she able to drink water? You can try Gatorade if she can tolerate water. A good rule of thumb about hydration is if the urine is clear. If the urine is clear she is hydrated, if dark yellow, she is dehydrated. She probably has the flu. If she gets too dehydrated, she will need an IV. And a few liters of fluid. If she is still vomiting tomor: see md
