[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 508256, member: 1233"] Go to the doctor. Anything that is causing nausea and/or vertigo should be checked out asap. In the meantime, drink lots of fluids, consider taking a decongestant (like sudafed) and also mucinex (brand name or generic - the generic usually has to be taken every 4-6 hrs and the brand name every 12), and peroxiding your ears. Why both mucinex and a decongestant? The decongestant makes the mucus thinner and the mucinex(expectorant) makes it less sticky. Together they are super helpful. Peroxiding your ears sounds weird. I know. But it can be a big help with sinus/ear infections, at least we think so. You lay on your side and put a little bit of peroxide into your ear and let it fizzle in there. They you drain that ear, turn over and do the other. It helps with any bacteria, etc.. in there. This has helped clear up ear and sinus infections far sooner than normal for my family. You should NOT do this if the eardrum is punctured or tubes are in. For the nausea - ginger is the best. You can get ginger candy, ginger ale that has real ginger in it, or you can make an easy ginger tea. Get a piece of ginger root at the produce dept of the grocery (usually near the snow peas and bean sprouts). It is an odd looking root with a brown skin. Boil water and cut the end off of the root. slice off 3-5 thin, slices (thick as a dime is what I go for) and then cut the brown edges off if you want. If you washed the ginger when you first got it, then let it airdry and then stored it in the fridge, you don't have to cut the skin off for tea. For stirfry you do, but not tea. Put the ginger slices in a mug, fill with hot water, let sit three to five min. Add honey and lemon to taste and drink.
