Child Born With Herb Palsy. Recurred Nausea, Unable To Eat And Hold Down Liquids. Help

I have a 9 year old daughter that was born with herb palsy but has regained full use of her arm. In 2006 we traveled by care and she was nauseated for two days prior to trip. She began to vomit excessively for two days. We stopped in Birmingham Al where they gave her IV for possible dehydration. She was seen by her practitioner, I only have medicaid. I working hard to receive my degree in Radiology so that I may acquire insurance my present job only pays the bills. The nausea has recurred, I feel so helpless she can't eat and can't hold down liquids. Poor Mother in distress, please give me some advice

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query Healthcare Magic.

Erbs palsy will improve and the function will improve as the age grows and with supportive measures such as physiotherapy.

Coming to nausea and vomitings associated traveling could be due to motion sickness or due to a stomach.

If this problem repeats with traveling again, then it is due to motion sickness.

In children with motion sickness, you can administer medication like promethazine half an hour brfore traveling in prescribed dose.

If vomitings are excessive, give sips of ORS like Pedialyte to maintain hydration.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
