Hi all, I'm at my wit's ends, my DD has had carsickness since age 1 but now at age 3.5 it's got extreme, including a short 4 minute train ride, and we only managed getting to the next street before she was wailing in distress, now she is even saying she's feeling sick when I push the buggy too fast.
I've tried most things - from the totally ineffectual (looking out of the window/at the horizon, wrist bands, fresh air and ginger) through to the 'it might work for a moment' (phenargan elixir, kwell's kids). It's not always the case she is actually sick as she gets so distressed we tend to stop the journey pretty quickly but she has certainly been very productively sick on some recent short journeys. Her balance is very good and her hearing is good. The doctor has no more ideas and we are now stuck unable to travel beyond where we can walk to.
Has anyone had experience of this, I can't believe it's normal, I know all kids feel a bit 'off' sometimes but this is an extreme! I don't get to see friends or family or go on holiday and I just desperately need to find a solution or a source of hope.
