Many people who experience mild feelings of nausea or dizziness that lead to vomiting while a passenger in a car are usually suffering from motion sickness. It's an inner ear condition that causes you to feel off-balance when in motion. At Mills Lincoln of Willmar in Willmar, MN, we want everyone to enjoy pleasurable travel by car, so we'd like to offer some effective tips for preventing motion sickness that our customers can share with family members and friends.
A good preventative first step is to take an over-the-counter remedy such as Dramamine. Since an empty stomach can aggravate motion sickness symptoms, have a light snack before traveling. Car passengers who take a nap while on the road often finds it helps to reset their inner ear balance. Those susceptible to motion sickness should sit in the front seat and avoid reading, focusing on the distant horizon while looking out the window.
