Nausea



Nausea

What is nausea?

Nausea is an urge to vomit or a general uneasiness in the stomach. If nausea is the only symptom your child has, it is rarely caused by anything serious. Nausea is often caused by:

  • A stomach virus (which also causes vomiting)
  • Indigestion
  • Food poisoning
  • Fear or stress
  • Motion sickness

How can I take care of my child?

Temporarily serve your child clear fluids and light foods such as crackers or bread. Allow your child to temporarily select their diet. Avoid fried or greasy foods. Avoid any medicines that could irritate the stomach.

When should I call my child’s healthcare provider?

Call during office hours if:

  • The nausea lasts more than 1 week.
  • Your teenage daughter could be pregnant.
  • You have other questions or concerns.
