My wife is due to deliver in Kerala, and she's planning to travel on January 8th, 2017. She'll be nine months pregnant by then. We're wondering if it's safe for her to travel by car or train since the journey will take more than 10 hours. What do you think?

Our patient was told to take chymoral forte three times a day after her ovarian removal surgery. Now she's feeling really nauseous and dizzy when she tries to get out of bed. Do you think it's okay if we stop the medication for a day to see if these are side effects?
