Question
Hello doctor,
My sister can't eat or drink because of some illness, she finds food (drinking) to be nauseating, although her stomach feels hungry and nagging. I went to endoscopy places but concluded that there was no disease at all. At home, people gradually weakened, almost could not eat anything. Ask your doctor to help you what is the cause of vomiting? Thanks for the advice doctor.
