Suggest Medication For Motion Sickness In Children
Avoid Ondem or Domstal for travel sickness
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Most kids outgrow this difficulty as they grow. You may give the following to help her in the meantime:
1. Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) at 1–1.5 mg/kg per dose, or diphenhydramine (Benadryl) at 0.5–1 mg/kg per dose up to 25 mg, can be given 1 hour before travel and every 6 hours during the trip. Because some children have paradoxical agitation with these medicines, a test dose should be given at home before departure. Avoid overdose as they may cause excess sedation and respiratory depression at high doses.
2. Non pharmacological measures to avoid motion sickness are:
-Being aware of and avoiding situations that tend to trigger symptoms.
-Optimizing position to reduce motion or motion perception—for example, sitting in the front seat of a car or bus, or sitting over the wing of an aircraft.
-Reducing sensory input—lying prone, shutting eyes, or looking at the horizon.
-Maintaining hydration by drinking water, eating small meals frequently.
-Adding distractions—listening to music or using aromatherapy scents such as mint or lavender.
Also, ondem or domstal is of no use in vomiting due to motion sickness. So, avoid them for it next time.
Hopefully it will be of help.
