Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staffPeople with cyclic vomiting syndrome generally need to get adequate sleep. Once vomiting begins, it may help to stay in bed and sleep in a dark, quiet room.
When the vomiting phase has stopped, it's very important to drink water and replace lost electrolytes with fruit juices or sports drinks. You or your child might not feel like eating right away. Some people need to start with clear liquids and then gradually add solid food back into their diet. But, others may feel well enough to begin eating a normal diet soon after they stop vomiting.
