When experiencing motion sickness, the following measures can be taken to alleviate symptoms: 1. General Treatment: Ensure good air circulation inside the vehicle. Try to sit in the front seat or near a window to allow easy access to fresh air by opening the window when needed. Close your eyes and avoid looking at rapidly moving objects outside the window to reduce visual stimulation. Keep your head stable and avoid frequent turning or shaking of the head. 2. Medication: Take anti-motion sickness medication, such as Dimenhydrinate tablets or Scopolamine Butylbromide tablets, before boarding the vehicle. However, pay attention to the correct usage and dosage of the medication, and follow medical advice. If symptoms such as nausea or vomiting occur, antiemetic drugs may be used in combination as directed. 3. Other Methods: You may also try using motion sickness patches, ensuring correct application according to the product instructions.
