What Causes Motion Sickness After Riding?

My 9 year son old son get motion sickness hours after he has ridden on a ride. They rode rides and walked around the amusement park. They were home by 1:30pm. He was find all day. He goes to bed at 9pm and then he gets dizzy and throws up. He states he still feels like he is on the roller coaster. This will not happen until he lays down for bed. This happen last year also. When he was six and seven (he is big for his age and has been riding big rides since six) he did not have this problem. It did not start till the middle of the summer last year. What is going on

HI...by what you quote I feel that this is a temporary phenomenon and has a temporary vertigo because of the rides. If the symptoms are still persisting even after a week I suggest you seek the consultation of an ENT surgeon as this seems to be problem of middle ear or vertigo.
