What can I do to help with the sickness?
There are some things you can try yourself to help with sickness.
- Try eating small meals. You may feel worse if you have an empty stomach, so try to eat something – even some toast might help.
- Eating foods that are high in calories and easy to digest may be helpful – speak to your doctor, nurse or dietitian about this.
- Sit up after eating. If you feel up to it, you could try to move around after meals.
- Drink small amounts of fluid regularly throughout the day.
- Some people find eating a biscuit or cracker, grated ginger in hot water, ginger biscuits, peppermint tea or sucking sugar-free sweets helps.
