Brief Answer:
Confirm pregnancy first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If she has missed her regular period then pregnancy is likely. You first need to get a urine test done to confirm the pregnancy.
The nausea that she has is likely to be associated with pregnancy. She needs to consult a gynecologist and get proper medicines- doxylamine prescribed.
In case you want to discontinue the pregnancy do get proper medicines prescribed after confirmation of pregnancy dating.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

She missed her regular cycle on 24th of this month and we did a EPT, which is positive. can we use Pills or any other options? please suggest on this doctor. We have not contacted any doctor at this point of time, as she just reached USA and Insurance will get activated on XXXXXXX 1st it seems. So we just used Over the Counter Drug for Vomiting and Nausea and nothing else. Also we were going with regularprocesses from online like Papaya, Pine Apple, Sesame seeds. Not sure what is going on with those, but she is suffering from Severe Vomiting since last night and could not eat anything, what would you suggest in this case?

Brief Answer:
Herbal remedies will not help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The nausea is related to pregnancy. The pills available for abortion are not available over the counter and are not used in USA without a supervision of gynecologist. The herbal remedies that you are using will not help. To control pregnancy related nausea she needs doxylamine that is a prescription only drug. It is best to consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.
To control nausea she can suck ginger or lemon and have small frequent meals like rice.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
