What Causes Vomiting On Long Exposure To Sun?

My 21 yr old daughter has vomited on two different occasions after long sun exposure. Both times she wore SPF30 sun protection and made sure she was drinking water. Am I right in assuming that this is sun related and how does she prevent this happening again?

Hello..Excessive sun exposure causes dehydration which just not means loss of water but also essential salts,your daughter might be suffering from excessive loss of salts and water due to prolonged sun exposure . I suggest she should take electrol packets/Glucon D dissolved in water instead of plane water and should never be empty stomach before going out. If however problem persist please let us know, we will evaluate further. For the time being she can take Tab vomikind(ondensetron) SOS for vomiting,if it occurs .
