In response to the EDITOR, Khanna R et al regarding the use of

antiemetics in AG, I would like to say that I agree with the author as we

need more studies to find out about the effects and importance of using

antiemetics in AG.As weather is getting warmer and we will expect more

cases of AG,the use of antiemetic is going to be more needed. Working in

paediatrics and general Practice, I gained the experience that antiemetics

like Ondansetron is quite useful and may significantly reduce the

admission and prevention of dehydration.
