Precautions
Nausea
Rest is often the best cure for whatever's causing your nausea or vomiting.
As anyone who has suffered a hangover knows, alcohol can be very irritating to the stomach. If you already have an upset stomach, now is certainly not the time to imbibe. The same goes for fatty foods, highly seasoned foods, beverages containing caffeine, and cigarettes.
The worst thing you can do for vomiting is to fight it, because vomiting is your body's way of getting rid of something that is causing harm in your stomach. Trying to hold back the urge can actually cause tears in your esophagus.
Cold compress on your head can be very comforting when you are vomiting. It won't stop you from spewing, but it may help you feel a little better.
Along with replacing the fluids you lose through vomiting; it is also important to maintain the balance of sodium and potassium (the electrolytes) in your system.
