What Causes Motion Sickness?
My little boy, age 3, always has delayed motion sickness when we have travelled by car for more than 2 hours. Having a break in the middle of the journey just means the symptoms show themselves sooner. Do you have any idea why this may be? He is never ill when the car is moving, but when it stops, within 30 minutes. Please help.

Hi... by what you say I feel that this is only a motion sickness. You are right. The best medicine to prevent this will be promethazine which is available as syrup phenergan commercially. As the kid is now 3 year old you are not wrong if you use this before the journey in appropriate dose. But this is a prescription medicine and you will need a doctor's prescription for this.
