Hi,
This suggests motion sickness, and is from excessive stimulation of vestibular apparatus. Drugs like Hyoscine or Promethazine can help. For dose, we need to know the weight of the child. Kindly discuss with your doctor. Drugs need to be taken 1 hour before travel.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
