Travel sickness pills

[mummywoowa]

Hi my dd2 has terrible car sickness, at the slightest car journey and she's green. Have tried wrist bands, but didnt work. She is now 7 and from 2 she has been taking travel ease, but over the last few months she had to move to kids kwells as travel ease taken off the shelf.

Now having trouble buying kids kwells, and some shops saying they also are taken off the shelf

With Xmas coming up we will be travelling around a lot to see various families.
1 is there anywhere I can still buy kids kwells (without paying £25 online, like amazon )
2 what else can I give that is just as affective to kwells

Thanks in advance

my 7 yo is also really bad with travel sickness (she throws up after 20 mins in a car) the only way we have had to settle it is to get a prescription from docs. its not given everyday but if we know we will be travelling for 1hr or more we will give her as needed.
hope you get it sorted it really is awful for them

Joyrides are the same ingredient and I was able to buy them last week in Boots. Worth phoning round for maybe? If not, then agree about a prescription, you can also get a hyoscine patch which I find good if travelling a lot. Best of luck

TBH I'd be tempted to give her half an adult dose (am a child health hcp-honest). At 7 she probably weighs 20+ kg, the worst that will happen is she will be a bit sleepy. Travel sickness is the pits.

Oh sympathies, my 7yo DD is horrendously carsick, threw up after 10 minutes the other day.... She suffers so badly that we have had to alter our lives quite drastically to fit around it, to be honest.

The only thing that's ever worked for her is Phenargan, which we used to have to get on prescription from the GP but one of our local pharmacies is now selling it over the counter, hurrah. Would this be an option for your DD? My DD is absolutely fine when we give this to her (although it can make her drowsy and/or very stroppy and there's no way of guessing in advance which it will be...!)- obviously it's not something you want to use every day, but for the occasional car journey (or two-week holiday!) it is fine ...
