A 17-year-old girl presented with repeated vomiting despite optimal treatment with prokinetics, antiemetics, intravenous fluids, and proton pump inhibitors. The patient underwent an upper digestive endoscopy. The scope revealed thick mucus around the gastric mucosa despite washing with water. The patient's lab revealed HAV infection and jaundice.
questions
1- is there a relationship between HAN and thick mucus.
2- can we treat this patient with mucolytics.
