How do you relieve the nausea related with an ear cleaning?


Question:
I just recently went to have my ears cleaned b/c of a wax build-up and the doctor had to clean my ears using a small pressure washer. I ended up feeling VERY nauseated and dizzy. How do I get rid of this?

Answers:
try some coke syrup

Other Answers:
This nausea and dizziness is probably related to water or fluid around your middle ear. This is also known as vertigo. A more serious form of the disease would be called Meniere's disease. Your healthcare provider should have provided you with medication in case this occurred. If not, you need to call him/her immediately, let them know about your problem, and let them prescribe you some medicine. Commonly, mepergan or phenergan are used to help with this problem.
The source of the nausea is not really in your stomach, its the pressure in your ear affecting your equilibrium. I am sure that an over the counter product like Dramamine would work fine, same as it works with motion sickness.
ginger or ginger ale
