I have no hearing in my right ear due to a dead nerve, and I constantly suffer from headaches and vomiting. What medicine should I take?

Having right-ear nerve deafness paired with constant headaches and vomiting is a serious medical concern that requires immediate professional evaluation rather than self-medication. These symptoms together can suggest increased pressure within the skull or an issue affecting the cranial nerves, such as a vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). You urgently need to see a neurologist or an ENT specialist for a brain scan (MRI). While a doctor may temporarily prescribe antiemetics (like ondansetron) for vomiting or specific pain relievers for your headaches, finding the underlying cause is critical. Please seek emergency medical care or consult your physician immediately.

I experience vomiting every time I eat food, what medicine should I take to prevent this?

Vomiting every time you eat requires a professional medical evaluation to find the underlying cause, which could be anything from acid reflux to stomach inflammation. For temporary relief, generic antiemetic medications like Ondansetron or Metoclopramide can help control vomiting, but these typically require a doctor's prescription. In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated by taking small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solutions. Try eating small, bland meals like crackers, toast, or rice when you feel ready. Please consult a healthcare provider promptly to get an accurate diagnosis and the safest treatment plan for you.

I am having a stomachache and have vomited. What medicine should I take?

First, focus on staying hydrated by taking small, frequent sips of water or an oral rehydration solution. To help ease the vomiting, a generic antiemetic like ondansetron is highly effective, though it typically requires a prescription. For stomach cramps, an over-the-counter antispasmodic like dicyclomine can help relax your stomach muscles. Avoid solid foods for now to let your stomach rest. If your pain is severe, you cannot keep any fluids down, or you develop a high fever, please seek professional medical evaluation. Otherwise, rest up and take it easy.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and experiencing an extreme sensitivity to smell that triggers vomiting. What safe medications or treatments can I take to manage this nausea?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Smell sensitivity and nausea are very common at 11 weeks. To manage this, try to avoid strong odor triggers, eat small, frequent meals, and use ginger lozenges. For safe medical relief, Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is highly effective, often combined with doxylamine, an over-the-counter antihistamine. If lifestyle changes and these options aren't enough, your doctor can prescribe safe alternatives like metoclopramide or ondansetron. It is also important to stay hydrated by sipping fluids throughout the day. Please consult your obstetrician before starting any new medication to find the safest plan for you and your baby.

I have vomited four times since morning, what medicine should I take and what should I do?

Since you have vomited four times, the immediate priority is preventing dehydration. Rest your stomach for 30 minutes, then start sipping Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) or water slowly, do not gulp. For the vomiting, an over-the-counter antiemetic like Ondansetron or Domperidone can help, but please consult a doctor or pharmacist first for the correct dosage. Avoid solid foods for a few hours, then stick to bland items like toast or bananas. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, a high fever, blood in your vomit, or if you cannot keep any fluids down for over 12 hours.
