Vomit while travel

my DS has it too.. he does not vomit when he is city travel in our car.. but for long drives/ hill rides in a diesel car, both me and my DS have this travel sickness.

like how adults (I do) take a tablet to avoid vomiting.. there is a syrup for kids.. please check with your pead for the right medicine for your child.. but I give Domstal or Vomikind. again there is no gaurantee that they will not vomit but 95% they will not. Make sure you do not feed her atleast 30 min to 1 hr before travel and nothing during the travel. Keep her in upright position while sitting and let her get enough breeze.. that has helped my DS apart from these tonics.

 

This is a regular problem. Even I do, when travelling by road. But not by air /train.So most of the times I avoid travelling by road.
Thanks Arthi for the medicine names, next time I will chk with paed.

 

Priya, our (mine and DS) problem will seem wierd. we do not have any problems in the train, our petrol car, sitting in front seat in 4 wheeler (again petrol), etc. we cannot tolerate hill drives, Air travel (

 

That would be my DH and DPiL too. They wont have it if they are driving or in the front seat. The other thing that works for DH is chewing on a salty "narthangai" pickle or ginger lozenge.
I am a little intrigued by why you do not have it with petrol vehicles, but only diesel vehicles. Is that because you need to constantly shift down gears for diesel when you are going uphill?
I am anticipating the same problem for DS too = given how like his father and grandfather he is. The one time we took him uphill, he was bfing throughout the 30 min ride, so it was easy. We are planning another one before school opens. I will dust up my domstal and keep it ready. Tks for that tip.

 

tikka, as wierd as it sounds - I meant we get this sickness in diesel vehicle even on the normal roads not only uphill.. we once went on ECR in a friends brand new innova and DS was uncomfortable for a long time.. finally he did the act.. after that he was fine.. it is like a ritual he HAS to do.. then we came to know it was a diesel innova! Luckily I was fine that day.
