With nausea and vomiting being a common symptom from chemotherapy treatments for cancer, here are some helpful tips that could help you or your loved ones prevent and control this side effect...
✨ Try cool beverages such as water, unsweetened fruit juices, tea or ginger ale that's lost its carbonation. It may help to drink small amounts throughout the day instead of larger drinks less often.
✨ Have small meals throughout the day rather than eating fewer, larger meals. If possible, don't skip meals. Eating a light meal a few hours before treatment also may help and avoid foods that are sweet, fried and fatty.
✨ Pay attention to smells that trigger nausea for you and avoid bad smells. Fresh air may help.
✨Rest after eating. But don't lie flat for a couple of hours. Try wearing loose clothing and keep busy with other activities.
✨ Try meditation and deep breathing exercises
✨ Consider giving the treatments we offer at AAIM a try and see how they can help!
