Are there any non-drowsy travel sickness tablets?
Most travel sickness tablets can make you feel drowsy, although this can differ from person to person.
If you’re planning on driving and are worried about travel sickness tablets making you feel drowsy, we’d recommend asking someone else to drive if possible or using a remedy that isn’t medicated, such as a travel sickness wristband.
If these options aren’t going to work for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Can children take travel sickness tablets?
If other treatments haven’t worked, you can give your child a travel sickness tablet to make travelling more comfortable.
An over-the-counter drowsy antihistamine like children’s Benadryl or Kwells may be effective at relieving your child’s sickness.
But not all travel sickness medication will be suitable for children, so always speak to a doctor or pharmacist for advice before giving it to your child.
How do you cure motion sickness?
Although there’s no cure for motion sickness, there are ways to make managing your symptoms a little easier.
Â
There are tablets that you can take for motion sickness, like promethazine hydrochloride, that can help to prevent you from feeling nauseous and vomiting.
Â
There are also other options you can try, like avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and adding a distraction like listening to music (reading or watching a film tend to make symptoms worse).
Â
Wearing a pressure band that applies electrical stimulation to an area may help, but studies are limited.
What is motion sickness?
Motion sickness, also known as travel sickness, car sickness, or seasickness, is when you start to feel nauseous and may even throw up when you’re travelling by car, aeroplane, or boat.
It mostly happens when you’re going on long journeys, so you’re particularly vulnerable when you’re going away on holiday, but it can happen on shorter trips too.
Motion sickness typically doesn’t affect those younger than 2 or older than 50, so if you’re a 40-something who’s struggling with travel sickness, you’ll be glad to know that the end could be in sight!
So, what causes these bouts of nausea and vomiting when you’re on the move? Let’s find out…
