Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Sinus infections or presence of adenoid enlargement can give such problems. Nasal decongestant sprays, chewable vitamin C and antibiotics will be helpful in such case. You can give ginger tea to relieve nausea. If it is not relieved by this then anti emetic medication will be needed. Have a review with your doctor to assess the need of giving antibiotics.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
