Sea sickness meds

[rthomasson]

Does GS have seasickness meds for kids? Should I take my own? My kids have never had motion sickness.They have rode several rides at Disney World. I go sick on a tender on a previous cruise,but it was short lived.

Be on the safe side and bring your own

I have way too much experience with sea sickness both in myself and others, including children.It's a tough time with kids and sea sickness. Most "childrens" meds are less effective and I would be hesitant on giving adult meds to smaller kids. One of the biggest problems with SS is that once the symptoms appear it is almost always too late, meds are not going to help. My experience especially with kids is that once it starts don't fight it. Go ahead, be sick, get it all out (sorry for the pun). Then get horizontal and get to sleep. You can actually sleep the sickness off, especially if the motion continues while you sleep. You should awake refreshed and even ready to eat, hopefully.
Another thing is to keep the blood sugar up. Sure, they might be unbareably hyper but they will be less likely to get seasick. You might also try the wrist bands with the little accupressure points. You can use rubberbands or bread ties to keep them snug on little wrists.
Here's hoping you have a great cruise. Bon voyage et non al le mal de mer!

Adults : Bonine (meclizine), non drowsy, chewable tablet, over-the-counter
safe and reliable. Bonine also will work after experiencing signs of
seasickness. I'm living proof
I always take it the first day just to be on the safe side.

Children : Always check with your pediatrician, but we've had good luck with
Dramamine,non-drowsy for kids. Older kids can take Bonine too, but
like I said check with your doctor first.

My DS has never had a problem with motion sickness but I didn't want to find out if he would be affected my seas sickness (as I am)..so just to be on the safe side, I always give him a children's bonine the day before we cruise and every morning on the cruise. He has never had a problem. I also take adult bonine the day before and every day during as a preventative measure, and I haven't had any seasickness issues. I plan on doing this again when we cruise next week...I don't want to risk missing any of the fun!
