Chewing mint gum helped my nausea when I was pregnant.

how about peppermint candys....

That's what I've always heard is to suck on a peppermint.

Sherry,

My 12 yr. old grandson and my 9 yr. old grandaughter got very car sick when

we were driving through the mountains. I didn't want to drug them the next

day since I didn't want them sleepy and missing anything. We went to

Walgreens and found wrist bands for them to wear. I don't remember the exact

name of them, but they were in the children's section with Dramamine and

other anti-motion sickness/nausea drugs. They are small gray wrist bands

with little buttons on them. The buttons push on pressure points in the

wrists, and they really do work. Both kids were totally motion sickness free

the rest of our trip. The cost was approx. $10 for a package of two writst

bands. You might consider this.

Sherry,

There is an over the counter anti-nausea medication called Emetrol, but I don't know if it's suitable for kids her age. You might read on the package about it. I think it's fairly fast acting, since it's a liquid, and she wouldn't have to take any unless she needed it. Maybe it's worth checking into.

If you aren't puking before you take Emetrol, you will be after! It is

HORRID...

Sherry,there are wrist bands that you can purchase at some pharmacies/health food stores that put pressure on trigger points to help avoid motion sickness, perhaps you could call around for these? I will see if I can find anything online, do a search for motion sickness and see what you get! Hugs,----- Original Message ----- From: switty36@... My daughter is going on a whale watch May 3-8.

Wouldn't candied also mean highly sugared? I also read that dosage/effects

are unpredictable with raw ginger.
