Due to the undeveloped vestibular apparatus, while traveling by various types of transport, the child may begin to get seasick. In order not to spoil the trip, parents should find out in advance how they can help their baby.
Here are some tips to help your child cope with motion sickness:
1. In order not to provoke an attack of motion sickness, ask the child not to look out the side window.
2. There are many pills available in pharmacies to get rid of motion sickness. Your pediatrician will help you find the right product for your child and age. The most famous remedies for motion sickness are Dramina and Kokkulin. Often, after using Dramina, children fall asleep for a while. Kokkulin is a homeopathic medicine, however, according to the instructions, it can be used by children over 3 years old. If your child gets motion sickness in transport, such drugs should always be kept in a travel medicine cabinet. Based on the doctor's prescriptions and the instructions of the drug, such tablets can be used for prophylaxis before starting the trip.
3. You can also purchase motion sickness bracelets. According to reviews, they do not help everyone, however, they are completely safe, and you can check if they will relieve your child's motion sickness.
4. If your child is still seasick, to temporarily relieve the condition, you need to get out of the vehicle (if possible), let him rinse his mouth with water (if he already knows how to do this), ask him to take a couple of sips. When the baby comes to his senses, you can continue the journey by giving the child a mint candy.
