8 year old travel sickness

Hello!
I’ve noticed my son is complaining of having a “swirly tummy” alot in the car recently and I don’t know why to do to help support him.
On every day journeys he’s ok, but can get flustered. We were in a long drive the other week in the countryside and we had to pull over :(.
Im thinking of getting some OTC travel sickness medication but I’m unsure how effective ridge they are and how doyen I should give him them?
does anyone have any experience/recommendations?

I’ve been using Kwells for my daughter for a while and they seem to be working (though she hates the taste), can be taken up to i think 20 minutes before a journey (some others need taking an hour before)
she also wears those anti nausea pressure bands on her wrist, not sure if it’s placebo effect but she rarely feels sick when wearing them.

Thank you for the reply! I have just been reading reviews about kwells. Do you give it to her for all journeys or just longer ones etc?

Just longer ones, usually over 2hrs, but that’s her choice, as i say she hates the taste but will take them when needed. She mostly relies on her ‘magic’ bands.
The kwells worked a treat on a recent boat trip that was VERY bouncy!
