Question
When kids experience motion sickness, they may vomit, feel pain and discomfort, with episodes usually occurring during the ride. Previous checks and treatments include the use of motion sickness medication and taking a nap in the afternoon. Seeking non-pharmaceutical treatments or other simple yet effective methods.
Answer
A simple and effective new method is to wear headphones while riding and adjust the volume to influence the inner ear’s response to balance stimulation. Other commonly used methods include: 1. Regular motion sickness sufferers can take anti-motion sickness medicine before the ride, with adults taking 25 milligrams each time, children taking less as appropriate, to prevent motion sickness reactions. 2. Avoid eating too much or too little before the ride. 3. Avoid overexertion before the ride and ensure a good night’s sleep. 4. Sit in the front of the car to reduce jostling, keep the windows well-ventilated, lean back against a fixed seat with your head tilted back, close your eyes, and minimize dizziness caused by head movement and visual motion.
