What causes motion sickness in children?

Although motion sickness is not a real disease, it should not be underestimated. It belongs to the category of motion sickness. It is merely an emergency response of a sensitive body to excessive stimulation, so there is no real cure or cure. The current methods can only temporarily relieve the symptoms or delay its occurrence. Moreover, motion sickness will bring adverse effects, such as vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms. So what are the causes of motion sickness in children? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Can taking more rides prevent motion sickness? How many rides do you need to get used to it?

The best way to avoid motion sickness is to exercise your vestibular function. Sitting more can definitely relieve motion sickness symptoms, but as for how many times you sit to improve the symptoms, this depends on the individual and there is no definite number.

2. My child faints whenever the car stops and starts, or accelerates suddenly. why is that?

Answer: The vestibule of the human ear is used to regulate dynamic balance. When the car generates acceleration, the vestibule will adjust the human body to adapt to this balance, and no discomfort symptoms will occur. If the car starts and stops very quickly, or accelerates very quickly, and the acceleration exceeds the vestibular regulation capacity, there will definitely be an uncomfortable process, dizziness or even vomiting. If the car has been running for a while and the speed is relatively stable, there will generally not be much discomfort.

3. Why do children feel less dizzy when riding in a shabby car, but more dizzy when riding in a nicer car?

In fact, this has nothing to do with whether the car is broken or not, but is related to the car's power and acceleration ability. The better the power and the better the acceleration ability, the less chance of motion sickness. Generally, buses, trucks or small-displacement cars have poor power and acceleration, so they are less likely to get motion sickness.

4. Which children are prone to motion sickness?

Motion sickness is related to genetics, and many children whose parents suffer from motion sickness will also suffer from motion sickness. Allergic constitution is an important cause of motion sickness. Children who burp frequently and fart loudly from birth are prone to motion sickness. Also, children whose noses are often blocked while feeding are prone to motion sickness.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why children get carsick. I believe everyone has already understood it. I also want to tell you that if your children are carsick, parents should choose stable means of transportation when traveling, or choose good roads and weather to take their children out for a trip, and then slowly increase the number and distance of the children's rides so that they can gradually adapt to the impact of transportation.
