For a 3 year old, please try the non-medicine measures first, as they work well for most toddlers. Seat her in the middle of the back seat in her car seat facing forward so she can see far ahead through the windscreen, keep a window slightly open for fresh air, avoid giving her books, tablets or phones during the drive, and let her nap or listen to songs instead. Give a light snack and small sips of water before starting - neither an empty stomach nor a heavy oily meal - and avoid milk, fried food and strong smells in the car. Break a 5 hour journey into two or three stops so she can walk in fresh air, and carry a small towel, water and a spare set of clothes. If she still vomits badly on every journey, medication is possible but must be prescribed by her paediatrician after checking her weight, because dosing in a 14 kg child has to be exact - the usual choice is promethazine syrup or dimenhydrinate given 30-60 minutes before the journey, and it will make her sleepy. Please do not give her adult tablets, domperidone or ondansetron on your own, and do not use scopolamine patches at this age. Get her seen by a doctor rather than travelling if she has vomiting with fever, headache, vomiting even when not travelling, or unsteadiness while walking, as that is not simple motion sickness. Happy to help further on a Practo consult or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Don’t give any medication for such small travel because medication have more side effect and 3 year child can have more side effect too

Motion sickness occurs when visual cues clash with inner ear motion signals in a moving vehicle. For a 3-year-old (14 kg), pediatric antihistamine/antiemetic syrups (such as Dimenhydrinate) are effective, but they require a precise weight-based prescription to prevent excessive drowsiness.

You can give benadryl cough syrup 4 ml 1 hour before the scheduled journey
