There are some simple things you can do if the motion sickness isnât going away on its own:
-Relax. Find something to focus on, whether itâs taking deep breaths or counting backwards from 100. Closing your eyes can help, too.
-Look at a stable object. If youâre in a car, look through the windshield.
-Eat lightly before travel but donât fast.
-Breathe fresh air -- and donât smoke.
-Avoid reading.
-get a seat u are comfortable at or a front-seat spot if youâre in a car.
- raw ginger or smelling lemons also help
-Eating peppermint is thought to calm the body. At the very least, the aroma may soothe you.
- u can also consult with a physician and get some OTC medications the dose should be taken about an hour before traveling.
