Brief Answer:
Possible due to virus/skipped meals stomach hyperacidity

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

As per your description, your symptoms of feeling nauseated could be related to:
- viral Gastroenteritis. You have a personal history of cold and still having stiffed nose today.
- hyperacidity of stomach as you skipped your meals has aggravated these symptoms

I advise to:
- increase fluids intake with ORS
- take antacids
- have your meals regularly
- have light meals during these days until nausea is gone
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora

If no improvement or symptoms will get worse, need further medical evaluation.

Wish fast recovery.
Dr.Albana
