Fluid changes in the inner ear cause the sensitivity to motion and the nausea. Usually, throwing up does not occur more than once and symptoms go away after four hours. The type of non-prescription medication that is most effective for the treatment of motion sickness is antihistamines. For complete instructions, see directions outlined in packaging.
Comments When traveling, focus on distant objects or the horizon to reduce motion sickness.
Do not read or play video games while traveling. This makes motion sickness worse. On ships or boats, try to stay above deck and focus on the horizon. Use car seats that allow a child to see outside. Drivers should avoid sharp turns, sudden stops and quick accelerations.
