To answer the question you put to me: yes, do keep the ginger in your mouth as you drink, or if you've pulled most of the heat from it, you might then add it to the brewing tea and allow the hot water to coax the rest of its essence from the fibres. But do give it time to work at full strength directly in your mouth first.
If you're able to get hold of enough ginger root to keep it on hand, you might chew some before and while Apparating. Ginger is very effective against nausea and might help some with the dizziness and disorientation you must be experiencing, as well.
As for the fact that your brother suffers this condition, that merely corroborates the prevailing theory in the field that Apparition Shock, while rare in the general population, runs strongly in certain families, particularly where there has been intrafamilial pairing. Yours is the only case I've encountered, but there may well have been children in this school who had the condition but did not discover it until after they'd left us. There are no symptoms beyond those that manifest themselves in the act of Apparating, so one wouldn't know until one began to practice the skill.
Do take good care, Sirius. I shall give the Prophet a thorough going-over for you every day, and I'm glad to do it. I hate that there's so little we can do for you.
