Motion sickness is often associated with being on a boat, but it can also happen when traveling long distances by car. We at Hagans Dodge have compiled some tips on how to prevent and deal with motion sickness should it occur during one of your road trips.
Prevention is your best line of defense against motion sickness. Taking a preventive over the counter drug such as Dramamine can stop motion sickness from occurring on a trip. A natural alternative to over the counter drugs is ginger and peppermint pills. These herbal supplements can help prevent the feeling of nausea that leads to motion sickness.
If you are already feeling nauseous on the road, then you should roll down your windows and get fresh air. This should help with nausea and also calm you down. Other things you can do to reduce nausea include sitting in the front of the car and focusing on the horizon in front of you. It is also essential to drink fluids to prevent dehydration if you throw up from motion sickness.
