Patients typically develop aversions to certain foods and strong aromas frequently trigger nausea.
Large amounts of food can make someone anxious and subsequently nauseated. The idea of sitting at a table for a large meal three times a day can become a chore. Fortunately nausea can be managed through a combination of medications and behavioral changes. Medications such as Zofran, Kytril, Compazine, Decadron, and Metaclopramide may be prescribed by your physician to help control nausea. The medication will be chosen on an individual basis depending on your situation.
