When it comes to motion sickness, prevention of symptoms is typically easier than trying to relieve symptoms after they have appeared. Motion while traveling is pretty much impossible to avoid, and so finding tricks to help prevent the onslaught of motion sickness will go a long way to providing sufferers with relief. This can include sitting in the front seat of a car, being in the lowest level of a train or boat, sitting near the wing of an airplane, and focusing on a spot in the distance. If symptoms are severe or still happen despite making behavioral changes, sufferers may need to work with their family doctor or primary care physician on finding a medication that can help to relieve symptoms and prevent motion sickness from happening. Options that can work include over-the-counter antihistamines or prescription anticholinergic medications. Each of these types of medications carries their own risks and potential side effects and patients will need to weigh out the risks and benefits with their doctor to find the best solution for them.
