1 -- In most cases, nausea and vomiting are self-limiting and require no treatment. Dry food such as soda crackers may reduce nausea and promote comfort. Discontinuing the medication will also stop the desired action for which the medication has been prescribed. Taking no action does not meet the needs of the patient. Taking medication with a heavy meal may increase the nausea being experienced.
