Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

It is normal to feel nauseous when a person is in pain or fever. Your son has had a broken bone last night. It is expected of him to be nauseous. Also, if he is on any medicines like analgesics for the broken bone, they can cause nausea too.

Give him plenty of fluids to drink and only liquid bland diet until the nausea subsides. If he is to take any medicine, give it after food.

He shall be fine soon.

I hope to have answered your query. Please do write back for further queries that you may have.

Regards,
