Q Stomach medication and motion-sickness tablets help only briefly, then the nausea returns days later. Why?
A Those medicines suppress the upward signal for a while, but the conditions preventing the stomach from emptying remain. So once the effect wears off you return to the same state. Changing those conditions is what widens the intervals.
Detailed Answer
Anti-nausea medication is useful when symptoms are urgent. Using it constantly for months or years is a different matter. What is needed also differs depending on whether the cause lies in emptying, in nerve sensitivity, or in the balance system.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment aims to restore the downward force so that the upward push happens less. We do not stop your current medication abruptly; we reduce it together while watching how well symptoms settle.
