Brief Answer:
She can take dimenhydrinate and acetaminophen as OTC

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what your wife had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, she can use acetaminophen as analgesic and dimenhydrinate for other symptoms like nausea and vomiting. These are usually available OTC. Also switch to soft diets and avoid heavy, oily or greasy meals.

If symptoms persist or fever or some associated complaint arises get her reviewed by your primary physician in detail and for baseline investigations.

Wishing her quick recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
