Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

She can be given Syrup Ondansetron twice a day to prevent nausea and vomiting.
She can also take fluids or ORS in clean drinking water or salt and lime water to prevent giddiness. Record her blood pressure.
