What to Do For Nausea?

[BekkiH]

I broke a tooth a few weeks ago and have not had the chance to get it taken care of yet. Unfortunately, it got infected and started hurting, so I called my dentist to make an appointment and get a script for antibiotics... but he's on vacation this week. The receptionist recommended that I call my primary care doc... who ALSO happens to be away this week.

So, I'm treating the infection with garlic capsules right now. The pain is gone, but now I have a horrible upset stomach. I have Tums, but those have sugar in them, so they're out.

Any suggestions? I don't have any ginger caps at home... reeeally wish I did right now.

Ginger, diet gingerale would help. Slice some ginger and put it in a glass of water,
Water, tea - mint, sip it slowly.

Hope you feel better, there is nothing worse than a toothache and my heart goes out to you.

Thanks!!! I'm going to try to get out and buy some ginger today.

I ended up coming up with a last-minute idea last night. I was taking a drug called domperidone while I was nursing to help with supply issues. The drug is actually an anti-nausea med, but it helps nursning moms as a side-effect. Took one of those last night and I was able to sleep.

I don't want to continue to take it, though, as it causes weight gain - I learned this the hard way!

The oral surgeon can't even do my consultation until February 11, so I have to stick it out for a while. *sigh*
