Hi Shelzarsfarm,
Thanks for your query ,
Well i can advice you some home remedies which will surely help like :
1)Do not load the stomach with food and liquids , give less than normal feed to prevent the vomiting.
2)Ginger is the best and effective remedy , could be n the form of any dish like ginger cookies, candies,syrup etc.
3)Peppermint candies or syrups also serve the purpose.
4)Lemon juice prior to start of the journey can prevent the problem.
5)Sucking over the cut lemon will do better than juice.
6)Eating few olives will also prevent the vomiting , as they contain tannins which dry up the secretions in the mouth which acts as aggravating factor most of times.
The medications (Hyoscine ) which help in Motion sickness are schedule "H" medicines and need prescription , you may have to consult your nearest doctor for the same.
