Hello,
I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician (Ex Govt Medical Officer at RML Hospital, New Delhi), and your case has been allotted to me.
Thank you for sharing your concern. This sounds most consistent with motion sickness, which occurs when the eyes and inner ear send conflicting signals to the brain during travelling.
What she should do
⢠Sit in the front seat of a car or near the front/middle of a bus, preferably looking straight ahead at the road. Avoid reading or using the phone.
⢠Keep the window slightly open for fresh air and avoid travelling immediately after a heavy or oily meal.
⢠Take small sips of water and keep the head relatively still during travel.
⢠Medicines such as dimenhydrinate, meclizine or cinnarizine can help, but the correct choice and timing depend on her age, other medicines and medical conditions. Some can cause significant drowsiness, so they should not be taken casually.
⢠If she is vomiting despite taking medication correctly, it would be worthwhile to review whether the medicine and timing are appropriate and to consider other causes such as migraine or an inner ear problem.
If this happens only during travelling and she is otherwise completely well, motion sickness is quite likely. If vomiting occurs even when she is not travelling, or is associated with severe headache, dizziness, hearing changes, weight loss or other neurological symptoms, she should be evaluated.
You may share the name and dose of the medicine she currently takes before travelling, and I can guide you regarding whether it is appropriate.
For personalised one to one consultation, you can reach out to me directly on WhatsApp at 80762047 three eight.
Wishing her good health and comfortable travels.
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician
