Emetrol is a beign over the couter antiemetic. This antiemetic comes in liquid form. Follow the directions on the bottle. One, or at most two applications should suffice. If the nausea persists consult your primary care physician.
You can try resting, staying hydrated, consuming ginger or peppermint, avoiding solid foods initially, taking over-the-counter medications if necessary, applying a cool compress, and practicing deep breathing. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
