What is child motion sickness and do you need to get checked?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Motion sickness refers to a group of symptoms such as cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that occur when riding in a vehicle, where the inner ear's vestibular balance receptors are excessively stimulated, leading to excessive biopotential production in the vestibular organs and affecting the central nervous system. Methods such as applying a patch to the navel, pressing the Neiguan acupoint, and opening a window to ventilate while looking forward are also commonly used but have very limited effectiveness.
