Do not skip any doses. Your child should wear loose clothing because it is both more comfortable and easier to remove if soiled. Parents should always have at least one change of clothes for their child in the car. Carry a bucket, towels, and baby wipes in the car in case of vomiting. Try to keep your child in a quiet, well-ventilated room after chemotherapy.
Smells can trigger nausea.
Try not to cook in the house when your child feels ill. If possible, open windows to provide plenty of fresh air. If your child is nauseated by smells, use a covered cup with a straw for liquids. Do not serve hot foods, as the odor can aggravate nausea. Serve dry foods such as toast, pretzels, or crackers in the morning or whenever the child is feeling nauseated.
