Motion sickness generally refers to motion disease. Patients can alleviate symptoms through medication, physical therapy, or surgical treatment, but should not blindly pursue quick relief methods. It is recommended that patients with motion sickness seek timely medical attention and undergo appropriate treatments under a doctor's guidance to avoid delaying their condition. When riding in a vehicle, try to breathe fresh air—for example, by opening the car window. Avoid reading books or newspapers or using mobile phones, and refrain from looking at moving objects. Distract your attention by talking, listening to music, or singing.
1. Medication: Anticholinergic drugs such as benzhexol or anisodamine can be taken orally. These medications help relieve nausea and vomiting by inhibiting gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasms and reducing the amplitude and frequency of intestinal motility.
2. Physical therapy: Methods such as adaptive training and balance function exercises can help the vestibular system develop adaptation and habituation, thereby reducing symptoms of motion sickness.
3. Surgical treatment: For severe cases of motion sickness, surgical options may be considered, including procedures such as vestibular nerve section.
