Will otc meds for motion sickness help with neurologically based nausea (such as from damage to the spine and nerves would cause)?

Dr. James Heid answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Nausea: There are several different medications to help with nausea. They all work fairly well, but none work 100%. It would not hurt to try the otc meds, and if that does not help, then ask your doctor. If you are on any daily medications, you may want to check with your doctor before starting otc meds.
