Citrus can help soothe the stomach. There are many ways to make this happen rather than sucking on a lemon wedge, which may not be that pleasant. Sniffing a slice of cut lemon or even scratching the skin so the zest comes off and you can smell the lemon is an excellent way to calm yourself. Drinking water with lemon will help keep you hydrated as well, or you can add the rind of grapefruit, orange, lemon or tangerine to your tea. You can also try sucking on lemon drops or drink flat lemonade, but be aware of their sugar content.
