Car sickness (motion) is a common problem today. Car sickness stems from a discrepancy between the eyes and the inner ear. The inner ear tells the brain that the body is moving and the other eye tells us that we are still. This inconsistency leads to many symptoms of car sickness. Although there is no cure, there are a few ways to make motion sickness less uncomfortable.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Coping with Motion / Motion Sickness Symptoms

1. 

   Determine your level of car sickness. Car sickness begins with dizziness or mild nausea. As it gets worse, other symptoms appear, such as heartburn, heat, headache, sweating, and increased salivation.
   • If you only feel nauseous at first, but then start sweating or producing saliva at first, maybe you should try to stop the ride.

2. 

   
   
   Breathe in the air. For some people, the open air helps to alleviate car sickness. Simply opening of windows or vents can alleviate your symptoms. If the condition persists, if possible, stop and breathe outside. The atmosphere can be helpful and so can the stopping of the car.

3. 

   
   
   Obscene vision. Usually, movement outside leads to motion sickness. So obscuring your view will likely improve your condition. In addition, the use of special glasses capable of eliminating motion can also produce similar results.
   • Just closing your eyes can help, especially if it helps you sleep.
   • You can also try using glasses or a blindfold to block your vision and reduce motion sickness / motion symptoms.

4. 

   
   
   Use ginger products. Certain ginger products can also ease motion sickness. You can try soft ginger candies, ginger-flavored drinks, ginger biscuits and many more. If motion sickness is prone to motion sickness, keep some products with you and use as needed.

5. 

   Eat dry food. Data shows that dry food, such as crackers, can ease symptoms of motion sickness. That's because dry foods can absorb excess acid in the stomach.

6. 

   Try reflexology. Pressing a certain spot on your body can help treat car sickness symptoms. Especially Internality — the P6 point on the inside of the wrist — this acupressure can help soothe an upset stomach. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Prevent Car / Motion Sickness

1. 

   Prevent nausea caused by motion sickness. You can prevent nausea caused by motion sickness by avoiding food, drinks or alcoholic beverages before riding. Don't eat anything that doesn't suit you. These include foods that make you feel bloated, too spicy or too fat.
   • Also, do not leave heavy-smelling foods in the car, as they can cause nausea.

2. 

   Sit in the most stable position. Since motion sickness is the result of a discrepancy between feel and seeing, a position with little or no motion can help prevent motion sickness. In fact, the car's front seat will probably be the best seat for you.
   • Never sit in the opposite direction while traveling — this can make car sickness worse.

3. 

   Avoid visual stimuli that lead to car sickness. Image is one of them. Specifically, you should not read while in the car. Moving makes it difficult to focus on words, and therefore, reading while riding in a car is dangerous for anyone with motion sickness.
   • Focusing on a fixed spot while riding can be helpful in minimizing the effects of motion sickness.
   • If you're traveling with someone who has car sickness, seeing them get sick — or even just talking about it — can trigger car sickness.

4. 

   Use medicine. Some over-the-counter anticholinergic drugs such as scopolamine, antispasmodic such as promethazine, and sympathomimetic, such as ephedrine, help prevent motion sickness. Most of them belong to the group of antihistamines, antispasmodics and contain meclizine - anti-nausea. They focus specifically on the areas of the brain involved in movement, thus preventing the rider (or other transport) from getting sick.
   • If you experience severe motion sickness, your doctor may prescribe scopolamine as oral, intravenous, or topical (topical) cream.
   • Always talk to your doctor / pharmacist about interactions and side effects before using prescription medications.

5. 

   Use ginger. For some people, ginger can be an effective alternative to preventing motion sickness. You can drink a glass of water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder or take two ginger capsules 20 minutes before departure.
   • Keep ginger products with you to increase the prevention of motion sickness. Keep your candy or ginger biscuits in your pocket or purse for easy use.

6. 

   Avoid smoking. Smoking can be a cause of motion sickness. Therefore, it is best to avoid smoking. One small study showed that stopping nicotine all night could reduce sensitivity to movement. If you are addicted to cigarettes, there are many ways you can reduce your smoking.For more information, please refer to the article: http://www.wikihow.vn/Cai-Thuoc-lá. advertisement

Advice

• Watching for a fast moving object outside can make you car sick.
• Always notify the driver when you start to feel drunk.
• Take a deep breath to stay calm. Slow engine movement can reduce motion sickness.
• Don't keep your mouth shut when you vomit, you may run into your nose.
• Sleep! If possible, try a sleeping pill like melatonin.
• If you have a history of motion sickness, bring a balloon bag, such as a Ziploc bag.
• If the route has many downhill curves, arrange a break between stages.
• For some people, holding the wrist can be helpful. Beaded wristbands at the point of contact with the acupuncture point can help you manage motion sickness.
• If possible, avoid busy roads. Repeatedly stopping and running made the situation worse.

Warning

• In general, women are more susceptible to motion sickness than men. Pregnant women, children 2 to 12 years old, and people with vestibular disorders or migraines all get drunk more easily.
