Managing Nausea for Cancer Patients

(HealthDay News) — Nausea among people with cancer may have causes from bacteria in food to chemotherapy, says the American Cancer Society.

To help manage nausea, people with cancer can:

• Slowly drink clear, cold liquids.
• Suck on hard candy with pleasant smells.
• Avoid fatty, fried, spicy or very sweet foods.
• Raise calories with butter, oils and syrups.
• Distract themselves with music, television or the company of others.
• Take anti-nausea medicine when the first symptoms emerge.
