has anyone ever used phenergan for their toddler for motion sickness? my son suddenly got travel sick last month when we were in my dads car which is a 4wd and a BMW which is notorious for motion sickness. He was never sick before. This week he has been sick in my car two times. Today I was driving and he actually couldnt get the vomit out of his mouth and his lip went blue. I shoved the hazard lights on and slammeed on the brakes to pull over. I broke my nail running across the car to take him out of his seat. He is now in the front with the air bag off but i dont want him in the front. In italy he was given a motion sickness tablet which has dipenhydramine in it but he wouldnt eat it. I was in the back with him but when I am driving its very dangerous if he is sick. So I went to Boots today to get him a different medication and I am quite upset as :1. It is Phenergan which I have actually used to SLEEP. I know its an old school anti histamine but it makes you drowsy. 2. You need to give it the night before --- How will I know when he would be sick??? and 3. I dont want to give him anti histamines since the histamine process within the body is actually really important.

Sorry to give a long story I just feel so upset but it seems to be the only sickness medication for a 2 year old 16kg toddler which is not a pill??
