Posted on Sat, 24 Nov 2018
Question: Hello,
My 15 year old told me he recently had some motion sickness when watching a video on his computer, felt a bit nauseas. If he looked away within a minute or so he would feel better. Also he mentioned his eyes have been watering a lot lately. He has allergies and is in the process of getting allergy shots but the watery eyes is a new thing.

Brief Answer:
Probably a viral infection, antihistamines can be used for relief.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.

Some advice that I can give to you are:

Give to your son over the counter antihistamines as Levocetirizine 10 mg to stop motion sickness.

It will also help for the allergic symptoms.

Give daily probiotics.

Give to your child a lot of liquids.

Anti-inflammatory medication, such as Tylenol can be given if needed.

The symptoms will last a few days and will go away on it's own.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
