Do You Know the Common Causes and Treatments for Feeling Nauseous and Vomiting?

Feeling nauseated and wanting to vomit, such as when seeing dirty things, eating food that causes stomach upset, or experiencing motion sickness, are all situations that may lead to nausea and the urge to vomit. These are all abnormal conditions that can affect one's health. It is generally believed that such feelings are related to various conditions such as stomach diseases, improper diet, and chronic pharyngitis. Of course, regardless of the cause, the feeling of wanting to vomit should be taken seriously. So, what should be done specifically?

1. Causes of nausea without vomiting

a. Chronic Pharyngitis: Due to environmental pollution or disease invasion, these can lead to the onset of chronic pharyngitis. Besides discomfort in the throat, severe cases may even experience dry cough, vomiting, and other symptoms. Maintain cleanliness in the surrounding environment, keep windows open, and maintain a regular lifestyle. Additionally, seek medical attention promptly.

b. Stomach Diseases: Patients with stomach diseases usually experience discomfort in the stomach and accompanying pain. Unreasonable diet, anorexia, skipping breakfast, etc., can lead to stomach diseases over time. Maintain a regular diet, avoid spicy foods, insist on eating breakfast every day. Chew food thoroughly, eat more vegetables. At the same time, exercise regularly to increase resistance. Additionally, treatment with Chinese herbal medicines and other drugs may be required.

c. Improper Diet: Food poisoning or indigestion caused by overeating can be resolved by maintaining a balanced diet and reasonable nutrition over time. If accompanied by severe abdominal pain and diarrhea, it is usually considered food poisoning, and prompt medical attention should be sought.

2. What to do if pregnant women feel nauseated but cannot vomit

Most pregnant women experience morning sickness during the early stages of pregnancy. Sometimes vomiting provides some relief, but most often, they feel nauseated without being able to vomit, causing discomfort and loss of appetite.

a. After waking up in the morning and drinking water, nausea may occur. If you feel nauseated but cannot vomit, eat some bread, which is easy to digest and can effectively alleviate the feeling of nausea. When choosing bread, try to use freshly baked bread from that day or bread baked the previous day and stored in the refrigerator for morning consumption. This type of bread contains fewer additives and is better for the baby than store-bought bread with more preservatives.

b. After breakfast, if your mouth feels bitter and your stomach feels uncomfortable, regardless of whether you feel like eating, peel and eat some purple grapes. This can remove the bitter taste in your mouth and alleviate nausea. Sometimes, nausea is just a feeling, and eating some sweet and refreshing fruits can make you feel more comfortable. If you vomit immediately after eating, that's also fine. Vomiting can provide some relief, but you should continue to eat something; otherwise, the baby may lack nutrition.

c. By lunchtime, if you feel nauseated and want to vomit when seeing anything, ask your family to prepare some cornmeal steamed buns or small steamed buns for you. Corn cakes can also be prepared, but avoid fried ones. Steamed corn cakes are preferable. Drinking some millet porridge, eating some corn cakes, and having some vegetables can relieve vomiting.
