Nonpharmacologic measures like eating crackers or dry toast can be effective in treating morning sickness and are often recommended as a first-line intervention in pregnancy. Intravenous fluids and prescription medications should only be recommended by a healthcare provider if nonpharmacologic measures do not work. Over-the-counter antiemetics like diphenhydramine are not recommended during pregnancy without consulting a healthcare provider.
