What is Travel Sickness?
Travel sickness happens when the movement your eyes see doesn’t match the movement your inner ear senses, confusing the brain. This leads to unpleasant symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and cold sweats. Motion sickness can affect people of any age, but it’s especially common in children, pregnant women, and migraine sufferers.
Symptoms of Travel Sickness
Travel sickness can come on quickly and cause:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Cold sweats
- Headache
- Pale skin
- Fatigue
- Increased saliva production
- Loss of appetite
Causes of Travel Sickness
Motion sickness can be triggered by:
- Car, bus, train, boat, or airplane travel
- Reading or focusing on nearby objects while moving
- Sitting in a rear-facing seat
- Watching fast-moving visuals (e.g., movies in a moving vehicle)
How Travel Sickness Treatments work
Over-the-counter travel sickness tablets like Avomine, Kwells, or Stugeron work by blocking signals in the brain’s vomiting center. These antihistamines or anticholinergics prevent nausea, reduce dizziness, and help you feel steady during travel. They’re safe for adults and children over 5 years old (check individual product guidance).
How to prevent Travel Sickness naturally
Alongside medication, these tips can reduce symptoms:
- Sit facing forward and in the front seat of cars or buses.
- Focus on the horizon or a fixed point outside the vehicle.
- Avoid reading or using screens during travel.
- Keep fresh air flowing – open a window or use a fan.
- Eat light meals before travelling; avoid greasy or spicy foods.
- Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol or caffeine.
- Distract yourself with music, podcasts, or conversation.
When to take Travel Sickness medicine
For best results, take your travel sickness tablet 1–2 hours before you start your journey. This gives the medication time to take full effect before motion begins.
