==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Mainstay of treatment of [[nausea]] and [[vomiting]] is correcting any [[electrolyte imbalance]], [[dehydration]], [[malnutrition]], and suppression of [[symptoms]] while evaluating and treating the underlying cause. [[Dietary]] recommendations include a low-[[fat]], low-[[fiber]] diet with frequent small meals if able to tolerate [[oral]] intake. Liquid diet is recommended in case solid diet is not well tolerated. Medical therapy involves two groups of [[drugs]] i.e., [[antiemetics]] and [[prokinetics]]. Antiemetics suppress nausea and vomiting and typically act [[centrally]]. Prokinetics modulate [[gastrointestinal]] [[motility]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Mainstay of treatment of [[nausea]] and [[vomiting]] is correcting any [[electrolyte imbalance]], [[dehydration]], [[malnutrition]], and suppression of [[symptoms]] while evaluating and treating the underlying cause. [[Dietary]] recommendations include a low-[[fat]], low-[[fiber]] diet with frequent small meals if able to tolerate [[oral]] intake. Liquid diet is recommended in case solid diet is not well tolerated. Medical therapy involves two groups of [[drugs]] i.e., [[antiemetics]] and [[prokinetics]]. Antiemetics suppress nausea and vomiting and typically act [[centrally]]. Prokinetics modulate [[gastrointestinal]] [[motility]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Natural history, complications and prognosis==&lt;br /&gt;
===Natural history===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nausea starts as an urge of [[vomiting]]. There is a diffuse sensation of unease and [[discomfort]] (often described as feeling sick or queasy feeling). Discomfort in [[chest]], upper [[abdomen]] or back of [[throat]] might be present. It is often accompanied by excessive [[salivation]]. If vomiting follows, there is [[involuntary]] expulsion of [[stomach]] contents through mouth and sometimes nose. If nausea and vomiting are left untreated, the general feeing of distress can progress to life threatening complications.&lt;br /&gt;

==Natural history, complications and prognosis==&lt;br /&gt;
===Natural history===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nausea starts as an urge of vomiting. There is a diffuse sensation of unease and discomfort (often described as feeling sick or queasy feeling). Discomfort in chest, upper abdomen or back of throat might be present. It is often accompanied by excessive salivation. If vomiting follows, there is involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through mouth and sometimes nose. If nausea and vomiting are left untreated, the general feeing of distress can progress to life threatening complications.&lt;br /&gt;

===Natural history===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nausea starts as an urge of vomiting. There is a diffuse sensation of unease and discomfort (often described as feeling sick or queasy feeling). Discomfort in chest, upper abdomen or back of throat might be present. It is often accompanied by excessive salivation. If vomiting follows, there is involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through mouth and sometimes nose.&lt;br /&gt;

==Primary prevention==&lt;br /&gt;
Nausea can be prevented by:&lt;br /&gt;
* eating frequent small meals instead of three large meals&lt;br /&gt;
* eating slowly&lt;br /&gt;
* consuming foods that are easy to digest&lt;br /&gt;
* consuming food that is cold or at room temperature since smell of warm or hot food can cause nausea&lt;br /&gt;
* resting after eating keeping the head elevated&lt;br /&gt;
* drinking fluids between meals instead of during meals&lt;br /&gt;
Vomiting (after feeling nauseated) can be prevented by:&lt;br /&gt;
* keeping hydrated by consuming small amounts of clear, sweet liquids such as Ginger ale, Gatorade and fruit juices that are not too acidic&lt;br /&gt;
