Help them out if they feel unwell.

  1. You might accompany them to the sick room or to give them a back rub. Be careful about offering medications; in some cases it isn't legal to do so, not even a painkiller and in other cases, it's just better that they make that decision for themselves.
    • Ask them if they've had any water recently. If not, fetch them some quickly. Staying hydrated may help to ease their queasiness and some cramps.
    • Offer to buy them some groceries or a ready-made meal. Or, make them a meal.
    • Run errands for them for the day they feel bad. They'll be happy to do the same for you when you need it.
    • Bring them a hot water bottle for those dreadful cramps. Or, if appropriate, offer to massage their lower back.
