Are them travel Sickness Wrist bands worth buying?

Question

Going on a long long Journey and my 6 year old Suffers with travel Sickness. I will give him the tablets but thought I might try these also.

or do you have any other tips thanks

Answer 1

It worth !Bands are inexpensive and come in little kids sizes as well as one size fits most (Kids ages about two and up). There are no chemicals to worry about, no drowsiness or hyperness, and no side effects.much  better  give him the tablets

Answer 2

You've probably already gathered that they work for some and not others.

Food is your next best bet: easy to digest crackers (like saltines, soup crackers, etc.), non-sugary cereals, ginger (come in candy form so your kid might be more inclined) and clear fluids. Most people do better with a little food in their tummy. If there's any comfort foods he likes that are portable, always very helpful.

And give him the window. Unless they completely freak out, it is always better for the eyes to see that the body is indeed moving despite a lack of effort. Not everyone's bodies come from a line that evolved for the speed of modern day, and there's a lot going on unconsciously that we have no control over.

Most importantly: stay calm. Keep him calm and stay calm yourself: nerves make things worse and he will pick up your nervousness if you have any. Journeys are fun, so try to make sure you both enjoy it, even if only the travel games ;-)

I have done alot of fishing on Lake Erie.  It can get pretty choppy.  The wrist bands work for me.

Answer 4

I tried them, and I tried them for my son when he was little. They didn't work for either one of us. I swear by scopolamine patches--I'll be fine when people all around me are getting sick.

Answer 5

You need to be sure what the medicine is in it and make sure of the correct dosage for him and his size.  We just had a horrible experience with the patch and it could be the same medicine, so check.  The patch is banned in the UK because it is so potent and once it gets into your system there is no antidote--it just has to wear off in 6 to 12 hours.  The side affects are dry mouth, blurry vision, confusion and it might be the wrong thing for him.  Also, many people cut the patch in half or even quarters to cut down on the amount being absorbed into the body.  If you even touch the patch it gets into your system through your fingers.  I know you are talking about a wrist band, but if it is the same medicine you could be making a big mistake.  Just letting you know that this is very potent stuff and you need to make sure you are giving your son the right thing and not too much of it.  Also I would advise AGAINST giving him tablets in addition to the wrist band.  You should never mix medications and you could be overdosing him with the same medicine in both.  Be careful that you do not make things worse for him.  That is what we did to my wife and it ruined our trip because we didn't know how powerful the patch is and it was prescribed by her doctor!  We are changing doctors because of this.  It was way too powerful a dose for my wife's system and she would have been better off if she had taken nothing.

Wow!  You're going to Paris?  That's fantastic!!  E-mail me if you have any questions I can help you with!  I hope your son makes it without any problems.  That pinch point wrist band sounds pretty fool proof.  It either works or it doesn't.  Good luck!  (Bonne chance!)
