overview

Primary prevention

Nausea can be prevented by:

  • eating frequent small meals instead of three large meals
  • eating slowly
  • consuming foods that are easy to digest
  • consuming food that is cold or at room temperature since smell of warm or hot food can cause nausea
  • resting after eating keeping the head elevated
  • drinking fluids between meals instead of during meals

Vomiting (after feeling nauseated) can be prevented by:

  • keeping hydrated by consuming small amounts of clear, sweet liquids such as Ginger ale, Gatorade and fruit juices that are not too acidic
  • eating sweetened icy treats like popsicles [1]
  • avoid activity and rest in sitting or propped-up lying position
  • ginger is shown to be useful in prevention of nausea and vomiting [2]
  • specific drugs can be used to prevent nausea and vomiting, for example, in case of motion sickness and chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting.
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a wrist band is used to control symptoms postoperatively. [3]
