How to Treat Vomiting at Home
Показать описание
Feeling queasy and uncomfortable? We've got your back! Say goodbye to stomach pain and nausea with our top tips for at-home relief.
In most cases, vomiting is not serious and will stop on its own. It usually only lasts a day or so.
You may find you can’t stop vomiting. Vomiting usually happens because the body wants to rid itself of harmful or irritating substances in the digestive tract. After it does that, the vomiting will ease up.
Try these tips to ease belly pain:
- Rinse your mouth well after vomiting. Sucking on a hard candy will help your mouth taste better.
- Dehydration is a common — and potentially serious — side effect of vomiting. Sip clear fluids — such as water, flat ginger ale, or herbal tea — to rehydrate. You also can try sports drinks or a formula like Pedialyte to replenish electrolytes.
- Sit up and take deep breaths.
- Rest. You’ll need to take a break from most activities until you’re feeling better.
- Eat small portions of bland foods — cereal, rice, plain chicken, toast. Wait at least half a day after vomiting to eat a solid meal.
- Try over-the-counter motion sickness medicine. These drugs can help calm your stomach when traveling by car, bus, boat, or airplane.
- Try nibbling on saltine crackers. If you’re having morning sickness, eat a cracker before you even get out of bed.
- Avoid strong smells that can trigger nausea, like perfume and smoke.
- Stay away from spicy, fried, or fatty foods. Likewise, don’t drink alcohol, caffeine, or carbonated drinks, which can upset your stomach more.
