Is it OK for children to take motion sickness medicine regularly?

Recently my niece always feels dizzy when riding in a car. She used to have motion sickness and would take motion sickness medicine half an hour in advance every time she took a car. I have read some reports or some information that shows that it is not good for very young children to take motion sickness medicine frequently, and it is also very harmful. So is it good for children to take motion sickness medicine frequently? Can very young children take motion sickness medicine? Let's take a look at the things to pay attention to when children take motion sickness medicine.

When people ride in a car, some people will get carsick while others will not. It is especially troublesome for children when they get carsick. The symptoms will be more severe than those of adults. However, some parents usually give their children motion sickness medicine when they get carsick. Children's motion sickness symptoms can be relieved, but the medicine itself has side effects. It will stimulate the child's imperfect nervous system and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Therefore, we do not recommend giving children motion sickness medicine.

We do not recommend that parents give their children motion sickness medicine after they get motion sickness, especially children under four years old, because the child's nervous system is still in the development stage at this time. If they take medicine casually, it will interfere with the normal functioning of the body's system.

If parents know that their children are prone to motion sickness, they should make preparations, such as not letting their children eat too much before getting on the car, or eating greasy food, as greasy food is more likely to cause nausea. But try not to let your child be too hungry before getting on the bus.

If a child's motion sickness symptoms are severe, sticking a piece of ginger on the child's navel can effectively help relieve the symptoms. Alternatively, an adult can press the child's Neiguan or Hegu points to help relieve the symptoms.

Precautions

Medicines are poisonous, especially for children whose detoxification system is not yet fully developed, and drugs can easily affect the development of the nervous system, so try to avoid taking motion sickness medicine to relieve symptoms.

Is it good for children to take motion sickness medicine frequently? In fact, it is not good for younger children to take such motion sickness medicine, because motion sickness medicine is a kind of Western medicine after all, and many ingredients stimulate brain cells. After some children take it, it not only affects the nervous system, but also causes great harm to the stomach. If you have children at home, never take motion sickness medicine.
