Control Nausea and Vomiting
• Avoid solid foods until vomiting ends. Then eat light, bland foods, such as saltine crackers, bananas, rice, or bread.
• Sipping soda may help prevent vomiting.
• Don’t eat fried, greasy, spicy, or sweet foods.
• Don’t take anti-nausea or anti-diarrhea medication without asking your doctor. They may make some kinds of diarrhea worse. Your doctor may give you anti-nausea medication if you are at risk of being dehydrated.
Prevent Dehydration
• Drink clear fluids, starting with small sips and gradually drinking more.
• If vomiting and diarrhea last more than 24 hours, drink an oral rehydration solution.
When to Call a Doctor
Call a doctor immediately for diarrhea:
• That lasts more than 3 days
• That happens after you eat seafood or mushrooms
• Accompanied by a fever
• With blood or dark stools
• With prolonged vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down
• With signs of severe dehydration, such as dry mouth, decreased urination, dizziness, fatigue, or increased heart rate or breathing rate
