Our FRACGP-qualified, AHPRA-registered doctors provide private consultations from anywhere, ideal if you face barriers like limited local services or difficulty getting timely in-person care.
What is Nausea and Vomiting?
Nausea and vomiting (often linked to motion or travel sickness) are common symptoms triggered by various factors, including motion (like car or boat travel), infections, pregnancy, medications, or digestive issues. Travel sickness, a type of motion sickness, occurs when there's a mismatch between what your eyes see and what your inner ear senses. Most cases are mild and self-resolve, but persistent symptoms can lead to dehydration. Our telehealth service offers quick assessments, lifestyle advice, and prescriptions for anti-nausea medications when clinically required, helping you feel better fast without leaving home.
- Symptoms: Feeling queasy or uneasy in the stomach, urge to vomit, actual vomiting, dizziness, sweating, increased salivation, fatigue, or headache. For travel sickness, symptoms often worsen during movement.
- Diagnosis: Based on symptoms and medical history during a telehealth consult; no tests are usually needed, but further investigations may be recommended if an underlying cause is suspected.
- Treatment: GP-led advice including dietary changes, over-the-counter remedies, and anti-nausea medications (e.g., for travel sickness) prescribed if clinically required.

Nausea Treatment Online FAQs
What causes nausea, vomiting, or travel sickness?
Nausea and vomiting can stem from motion (e.g., travel sickness due to car, boat, or plane rides), infections (like gastro), pregnancy, medications, food poisoning, or stress. Travel sickness specifically arises from a sensory mismatch between your eyes, inner ear, and body.
How do I know if I have nausea or travel sickness?
Look for queasiness, an urge to vomit, actual vomiting, dizziness, cold sweats, fatigue, or headache. Travel sickness often hits during movement and eases when still.
Can nausea and vomiting be treated via telehealth? Absolutely!
Our FRACGP-qualified doctors can evaluate your symptoms in a video or phone consult, offer tips like ginger or positioning for travel, and prescribe anti-nausea meds if clinically required.
Do I need tests for diagnosis?
Usually not—it’s based on your symptoms and history. If an underlying issue (e.g., infection) is suspected, we may suggest simple tests at a local bulk-billing lab.
What is the treatment for nausea, vomiting, or travel sickness?
Start with supportive steps: small sips of fluids, bland foods, rest in a stable position, and over-the-counter options like ginger chews. Anti-nausea medications (e.g., for motion sickness) are prescribed if clinically required.
When should I seek urgent care?
Get help immediately for severe vomiting (can’t keep fluids down), signs of dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness), blood in vomit, intense abdominal pain, or if symptoms last over 24 hours—especially in pregnancy or children.
