About Kwells Travel Sickness Tablets

What are Kwells Travel Sickness Tablets?

Travel sickness, also known as motion sickness, can cause significant discomfort and anxiety for sufferers and their caregivers. To combat this, Kwells offers a solution to help manage and alleviate symptoms, enabling a smoother journey.

What is the difference between Kwells Travel Sickness Tablets and Kwells Kids Travel Sickness Tablets?

The difference between the kids and adults’ version is that the adult’s version is 300 micrograms, whereas the kids version is 150 micrograms.

What is travel sickness?

Travel sickness, also known as motion sickness, occurs when there's a disconnect between the sensory signals the brain receives from the inner ear, eyes, and other body parts. These conflicting signals confuse the brain, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Sweating
  • Fatigue
  • General feeling of discomfort

Common scenarios that trigger travel sickness include:

  • Car rides
  • Boat trips (sea sickness)
  • Airplane flights (air sickness)
  • Train journeys
  • Amusement park rides

Factors that can influence the severity of travel sickness include:

  • Age (children are more susceptible)
  • Genetics (it can run in families)
  • Anxiety and stress levels
  • Previous experiences with motion sickness

What can you do to prevent travel sickness?

To manage and prevent travel sickness, several strategies can be helpful:

  • Focus on the horizon or a stable object
  • Sit in the front seat of a car or choose seats with the least motion (e.g., the middle of an airplane or on the deck of a ship)
  • Avoid reading or using screens
  • Ensure good ventilation and fresh air
  • Stay hydrated and eat light, non-greasy foods
  • Use over-the-counter or prescription medications designed to prevent motion sickness, such as antihistamines

Understanding and recognizing the symptoms early can help in taking preventative measures to mitigate the discomfort associated with travel sickness.
