Suggest Treatment For Severe Nausea
Question: My son is 16 complained of feeling nauseated Tuesday evening, he barely ate dinner Wednesday and refused breakfast today (not normal at all) very low energy but no vomiting or diarrhea?
Brief Answer:
Please, ask him what he would love to eat!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this nausea that your son has reported. Ask him whether there is anything he would love to eat. If there is, try providing that to him in small quantities several times a day. If there is nothing and he still feels nauseous, let him take motilium 30minutes before eating and this nausea would no longer be a threat to him. Also, the fact that he has not vomited might suggest that he is more apprehensive about this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Hi my pharmacist did not know of Motillium but instead offered OTC Emertrol which I got; my son is eating (a bit now) but has little appetite very weird for him.
Brief Answer:
Emertrol is okay as well!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Am happy he can eat a little now. His appetite would slowly return and this is nothing but a matter of time. Exercise some patience and all would soon be over. How is he at this time?
