Many bouts of nausea and vomiting usually subside within six to 24 hours and may be treated at home. In some cases, stopping or avoiding the food or medication that caused the problem is the only treatment necessary.

There are several ways to control nausea, including:

Drink clear fluids
Eat light, bland foods, such as crackers or plain bread
Do not eat fried, greasy or sweet foods
Eat and drink slowly
Eat small meals
Do not mix hot and cold foods
Avoid activity after eating
Avoid brushing teeth shortly after eating
Treatment for vomiting may include:

Drinking fluids to prevent dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes (substances in the body necessary to maintain body chemistry and function). After vomiting subsides, patients should begin drinking clear fluids in small quantities or sucking on ice chips. Water, carbonated beverages with sugar and broth may help. Oral hydration solutions may be consumed. In severe cases, fluid replacement may be performed intravenously (through a vein) at a medical facility.


Eating foods to meet nutritional requirements. Patients should avoid eating solid foods until vomiting subsides. Patients who can drink clear fluids without further vomiting can try to eat small amounts of bland foods, including dry crackers, toast, cereal or fruits. In severe cases, a feeding tube can be placed into the patient
