Based on the information provided, I don't have personal experience with aspirin alleviating nausea. Therefore, I can't provide a specific timeframe. However, I can provide some general information about aspirin and its potential effects on nausea.
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a common over-the-counter medication used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [1].
While aspirin is not typically used as an anti-nausea medication, it can help alleviate nausea in some cases. This is because aspirin can reduce inflammation in the stomach and intestines, which can sometimes cause nausea [2]. However, it's important to note that aspirin can also irritate the stomach lining and cause stomach upset, which may exacerbate nausea in some people [3].
As for how quickly aspirin might alleviate nausea, this can vary depending on a number of factors, including the cause and severity of the nausea, the dosage of aspirin, and the individual's response to the medication. In general, it's recommended to take aspirin with a full glass of water to help it absorb more quickly [4].
It's important to note that aspirin should not be given to children or teenagers with flu-like symptoms or chickenpox, as it can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called Reye's syndrome [5].
In summary, while aspirin can potentially help alleviate nausea in some cases, it is not typically used as a first-line treatment for this symptom. The time it takes for aspirin to alleviate nausea can vary depending on several factors.
