Question
My child has been complaining of motion sickness after waking up recently, along with dry heaving and diarrhea. After taking medication yesterday, the symptoms did not improve, and they still feel motion sickness today. What could be the cause?
Answer
The current condition of the child may be due to indigestion caused by gastroenteritis. The symptoms include dry heaving and diarrhea, and dehydration after diarrhea may lead to motion sickness. Although the diarrhea has stopped after taking medication, the digestive tract problem has not been resolved. If there is no more diarrhea, there is no need to continue taking the medication. Instead, you can switch to taking digestive aids such as lactobacillus tablets and probiotic tablets.
