Is there any treatment for motion sickness?
Asked by Female, 24 · 2 months ago
Yes, motion sickness can be treated with over-the-counter antihistamine medicines, such as dimenhydrinate or meclizine, taken before travel. In more severe cases, scopolamine patches or promethazine (an antiemetic) may be prescribed to help calm the nervous system and reduce nausea. Simple measures such as sitting in the front seat, keeping your gaze straight ahead, staying hydrated, and avoiding heavy meals may also help.
