Do not walk around the plane if you feel unwell: tips on how to combat nausea
When traveling by air, many passengers have to deal with nausea, which can be very disruptive. Feeling sick for hours can ruin the beginning of a vacation, so it's important to know how to alleviate the symptoms.
The best way to avoid getting sick is to refrain from flying if you often feel unwell on board or find alternative transportation. However, if this is not possible, experts offer some tips to help alleviate nausea, as reported by The Scottish Sun.
Remain seated and avoid walking around the cabin. This will help keep your center of gravity low and reduce dizziness.
In terms of entertainment, it's advisable to lower your head and close your eyes rather than watching movies on the screen or scrolling through social media feeds. Instead, opt for an audiobook, podcast, or try to sleep to distract yourself from nausea.
Experts recommend drinking more water to relieve symptoms. A small snack can also help, but avoid sweets. Crackers, bread, and fresh snacks are preferable.
Flight attendants also suggest applying a towel soaked in cold water to your neck, directing a stream of cold air towards yourself, or looking at the horizon through the window to improve your well-being.
