Suggest Treatment For Chronic Nausea
My 25 year old daughter has been suffering from chronic nausea for the past 8 days. At first she thought it was the flu but has not developed any other flu symptoms other than dizziness which has been ongoing since she got a concussion and whiplash a little over a month ago. She went to urgent care yesterday and they sent her home stating that nothing was wrong with her. However, the nausea persists ... she is unable to eat or drink anything and has lost 9 pounds in the last 8 days. Any suggestions would be helpful

Hello
The main cause of nausea is hyper acidity or gastritis .
She is also having dizziness .
These measures may be useful for your daughter .
Try raising the head of her bed about 4 inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for 2-3 hours before she lie down.To control hyperacidity one should not drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or greasy foods.
Also advise her to take some antacid but if nausea is severe she may need drugs like pantaprazole-d once or twice in day on empty stpomach for 3-4 days .
Also give her ondansetrone 4 mg mouth dissolving tablet 2 hours before meal.
Hope she will recover within 2-3 days .
Good luck.
