What medication is used to increase the symptoms of lower stomach discomfort and dizzy head? These symptoms are related with travelling by bus. It has become very uncomfortable to me. Sometimes headache and aching legs occur. I used to read during travelling before, but now it makes me very sick. What can you suggest me to do?

I use antihistamines to relieve those symptoms. They also cause drowsiness and I feel much better when drowsy than when feel nausea. Dramamine is recommended for sickness caused by travelling. I always give to my children because they also have bad sickness during travelling by car. It’s completely safe; I’ve never noticed side effects. I think that all these symptoms have the same cause and that this drug may control it.

To first reply to the bus rider, sounds like you've got a good ol case of motion sickness. Sad I get it myself on long car rides and on buses. I also suggest Dramamine, about a half hour to an hour before you get into the car. Depending on the kind you get it will make you very drowsy (Though there is a less drowsy formula out now) and if you won't be on the bus for long, I suggest taking just half of one. (they last up to eight hours, some brands 24)



And for my own illness, I very recently (just today, in fact) started feeling achy all down my legs, and my glands are swollen up in my throat, making it hurt to swallow. (The skin in my throat isn't sore, it's just the ache from the glands being swollen up...) and I've also been getting headaches for a few weeks now. I don't have any insurance so I'd really like a reply here before I drag myself to the doctor. I'm not a regular on these forums, so if someone could message me:
