Daughter ill in Tokyo

My DD age 20 flew to Tokyo on Wednesday night. On the second flight from China-Tokyo she started feeling really sick and vomited as the plane was landing. Since then she has been feeling really nauseous and hasn’t been able to go out of her Airbnb.

She is autistic and young for her age and normally relies on me to deal with pretty much everything for her. She is with a friend who has been trying to help the best she can, she went to a pharmacy to get some pills but doesn’t speak Japanese so just mimed being sick. My daughter took one of the pills earlier but isn’t feeling any better.

She hasn’t been able to eat much at all, and says she is hungry but the thought of food makes her feel more nauseous.

She is on sertraline and has been feeling nauseous on and off for the last few months since the doctor upped her dose, but nothing as bad as this.

She went to Japan with the same friend last year and had a great time, her friend has to do pretty much all the organising of everything though as DD is away with the fairies.

She has travel insurance. I sent her the number of the medical advice line in Japan she can phone to find an English speaking clinic, but she started crying even more on the phone this morning saying she doesn’t want to see a doctor.

I feel really helpless, she is in a state and was completely inconsolable this morning. I don’t know what I can do to help her.

Just had a message to say they’re done, she’s had an injection and got a prescription. Not sure what they think is wrong, that was my next question to them which I haven’t had an answer to yet.

What kind of injection? My guess would be antisickness. Find out what the prescription is for, even if it’s just a photo of the drugs.

Just to reassure you, my daughter lived in Japan for a year and they are very cautious doctors in the clinics with foreigners. She twice got hospitalised for something that over here the GP was totally dismissive of so if they think she’s ok, she probably is.
