What are the best remedies for nausea?

Nausea is a general term describing a queasy stomach, with or without the feeling that you are about to vomit. There are several things you can do on your own to help, including:  
•    Drink beverages that settle the stomach, such as ginger ale or chamomile tea.  
•    Avoid caffeinated colas, coffees and teas.  
•    Drink clear liquids to avoid dehydration (if vomiting is associated with nausea).  
•    Eat small, frequent meals to allow the stomach to digest foods gradually.  
•    Eat foods that are bland and simple for your stomach to digest, such as crackers or unbuttered bread, rice, chicken soup and bananas.  
Some over-the-counter medications can help to relieve nausea, including chewable or liquid antacids or bismuth sub-salicylate (Pepto-Bismol). Dimenhydrinate or meclizine hydrochloride are helpful for treating or preventing nausea due to motion sickness.
If you continue to feel nauseated, several prescription medications are available to help relieve nausea.
