Doctor's answer:

The simplest, most effective, and innovative method is to put on headphones and listen to music, turning the volume up a bit. This can affect the response of the inner ear to balance stimuli. Other common methods include:
1. Those prone to motion sickness can take cyclizine before traveling. Adults take 25 mg per dose, while children should take a reduced amount to prevent motion sickness symptoms.
2. Avoid eating too full or too hungry while traveling.
3. Do not overexert before traveling, and ensure a good night’s deep sleep.
4. Sit in the front of the car to reduce bumps. Quickly open the window to ensure good ventilation, slightly tilt your head back, rest against a fixed seat, close your eyes, and soften the head tremors and the sensation of objects flashing by to alleviate dizziness.
