Answer 2

Look at the road through the middle of the seats and suck mints and eat ginger biscuits.  Works every time for me and I suffer with travel sickness quite a lot.  Make sure the window is open for plenty of fresh air and have a chat to keep your mind off it.  DO NOT read, have alcohol or a greasy breakfast before travelling.  Hope it helps.

Answer 8

Motion sickness is caused by a conflict between your inner ear sensing motion but your eyes not seeing motion. Things like reading books, where you're not looking at motion will cause you to get motion sickness. The best thing to do is simply look at the scenery around you as it goes by. This will eliminate the conflict and will keep you well.

Answer 9

Dramamine

Answer 10

Try to sit where you can look out of the front windshield. You want to try and have your eyes seeing the motion that your inner ear senses; try looking towards the horizon...off in the distance...through the front windshield.

Do not read, play electronic games, watch videos or anything similar while the car is in motion.

Avoid very heavy meals while traveling.

Hard candies, like peppermint Lifesavers sometimes help me ease or avoid the quesiness.

Ask your mom to get you some medicine to take. Usually taking the motion sick pill about 30 minutes before you get in the car is best. Antivert, Bonine, Dramamine can be bought without a prescription.

Sitting in the front seat, or better yet driving, helps prevent motion sickness.

I feel for you; I've been prone to motion sickness all my life. It's better now, because of all the traveling I've done my brain is better able to cope with the motion. Good luck to you!

Answer 11

As a teacher I have taken lots of children on trips and whenever a child felt sick I sat them on newspaper and they were NEVER sick. Try it.
