General & Family Physician,  's  Response
She has motion sickness. It is a common condition that occurs in some people who travel by car, bus, train, airplane or boat. Motion sickness progresses from a feeling of uneasiness to sweating and dizziness. This is usually quickly followed by nausea and vomiting.
Vomikind contains ondansetron. It is used for control of vomiting, but it is not the right medicine for treatment of motion sickness. Motion sickness can be prevented. Vomikind can be used for symptomatic relief of vomiting..
Advice
1.     Tablet Vertigon (cinnarizine) 25 mg - half tablet orally 2 hours before start of travel daily
2.     You can give Vomikind if she starts vomiting
3.     Ask her to fix her eyes in horizontal direction without an outside view
4.     Avoid spicy and fat rich food before travel
5.     Do not give her heavy meal before travel. Give smaller meal before travel
Thanks
