I would definitely do a trial run with phenergen before travelling to make sure it doesn't send him loopy - made the mistke of giving dd aged 4 this on a plane without ever having tested it out to try and make her have a nap as it was a very long flight and it made her crazy for about 2 hours - violent, restless, irrational, so I would be careful with this one. Have also tried joy rides and they have been fantastic so far, but then each child is different so you need to find the right medication. Good luck!

Some chemists are a bit sniffy about giving you phenergan and whilst I have used it I think that it makes the kids feel terrible the next day. Phenergan can also make kids very hyperactive so be careful. Boots do excellent chewable travel sickness pills. Anyone travelling to the USA can pick up fabulous medicine in the supermarkets for this.

Oh I forgot.. for travel sickness you have to take it the night before travelling.

Yes you can buy it over the counter at the chemist. I paid just over £2.00 for a bottle. Never used it before but am going to try it this weekend on dd to see how long it works for. (We are going away in 3 weeks and the journey is going to be 17 hours +)

you can give it from 2, works a treat.

This is a message I have been looking for!

Where can you get it from and what age can they take it from - could i give it to my dd aged 2??

We have a flight to the US on Saturday and thought it might help on the flihgt and allow her to get into a 'routine' with the whole time change etc.

I can confirm - the adult form is lethal - complete sedative and makes you feel like pants the next day too.

Might try the kiddies version and see if it can sort-out the hay fever symptoms without making DH and I feel like we have been hit over the head with a mallet.
