Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Best liquid to drink is water of course,but you can also take coconut water,pedialyte,apple juice,sweet and salty lime juice and other rehydrating oral solutions.Avoid orange juice as it is very acidic.
For eating you can eat gelatin dessert,dry toast,crackers,cooked cereals etc.
once nausea is over,you may resume your regular food of choice gradually.
In addition you can take some anti nausea medicine like MECLIZINE twice a day.
You should be all right in next 24-48 hours.
In case your nausea extends beyond 48 hours,then ypu should consult your doctor for that.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
