Usually not: But it helps you, that would be the proof of the pudding. However Benadryl (diphenhydramine) has little or no anti-nausea effect although if may offer some benefit but making you sleepy.

No: It will not hurt you, but it will not help either. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not an antinausea medication.

No - But ginger may: Help. Ginger can reduce nausea ; upset stomach. You can drink slightly flattened ginger ale or nibble on crystallized ginger. Or pour boiling water over freshly sliced organic ginger ; steep x 5 min in a covered pot. Sip.
