Antihistamines are best for treating nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness and vertigo.
Antihistamines are effective in treating nausea and vomiting, especially when these symptoms are due to motion sickness or vertigo.
Motion Sickness: This happens when your brain gets mixed signals from your eyes and ears, often when traveling by car, boat, or plane. Antihistamines can help because they calm the brain's response to these mixed signals.
Vertigo: This is a feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning, often due to problems in the inner ear. Antihistamines can help reduce the spinning sensation and the nausea that comes with it.
These medications work by blocking certain signals in the brain that cause nausea and vomiting. They are not as effective for other types of nausea, such as those caused by stomach viruses or food poisoning. Always consult with a healthcare provider to understand the best treatment for your symptoms.
