How To Get Rid Of Seasickness?
Hi, I'm a seaman and I got a problem of seasickness. I've been sailing for about 3 months now and I'm still troubled with seasickness specially when bad weather comes. Somewhere in my zyphoid point, it hurts inside when I presses with my two fingers. Is this anything to do why I easily get the problem of sea motion sickness?

Hi, thanks for the query. Motion sickness is indeed a troublesome aspect of prolonged voyage. It usually occurs due to failure of middle-ear equilibrium structures to adapt to constant state of motion. There are certain drugs like diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, promethazine (known as antihistaminics) which help to get rid off the motion sickness. Additional options are cinnarizne tablets. These shall help you to acclimatize rapidly. Hope this help. Good Luck
