Suggestions for relieving nausea and vomiting:
1. Deep breathing: When feeling nauseous, try practicing deep breathing exercises. Slow, deep breaths can help relax both the body and mind, reducing the sensation of nausea. You may try the 4-7-8 breathing method: inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat this cycle several times.
2. Ginger products: Ginger has effective anti-nausea properties. You can try consuming ginger slices, drinking ginger tea, or sucking on ginger candies. However, pregnant women should consult a doctor before using ginger products.
3. Avoid strong odors: Strong smells can worsen nausea. Try to avoid exposure to irritating odors such as cooking fumes and perfumes.
4. Sip water gradually: Drink small amounts of water frequently rather than consuming large quantities at once, which can加重 the burden on the stomach. Lukewarm water or light saltwater are good options.
5. Maintain a sitting or lying position: If possible, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, and avoid sudden changes in body position. Close your eyes and rest in a quiet environment.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation and treatment.
