Try fixating your gaze on a distant, motionless landmark like a mountain or a tree. Your sense of dizziness should pass.

some tips!
TIPS
Think about motion wellness :- "Motion sickness is partly psychological" says Dr.Konard. Do not remind your child that he/she vomits during travelling. Do not focus on the problem and divert your childæ¯ attention.
Leave nursing the sick to someone else :- Itæ¯ a common occurrence, you see someone getting sick, you watch that person in sympathy, maybe even offer a comforting shoulder. Before long, youæ®e the next body down. As cruel as it may sound do you best to ignore others who are sick, says Dr.Konard. Otherwise youæ®e liable to end up vomiting too.
Get your nose out of the joint :- Bad odours such as engine fumes, petrol smell also aggravates this problem.
Butt out :- Cigarette smoke can only contribute to impending nausea, says Dr. Konard. Prevent anyone smoking in the presence of your child. Donæ° create panic in your child by discussing travel sickness. So if anyone of the family members has motion sickness do not confuse your child by discussing about it and causing apprehension for your child.
Travel at night :- Your childæ¯ chances of getting sick diminish when you travel at night because they canæ° see the motion as well as they can in day light hours.
Go ahead, get fresh :- If youæ®e in a car, open a window to deter your childæ¯ nausea by fresh air. On a boat stand with him / her on a deck and take in the sea breeze. On an airplane turn on the overhead vent.
Get enough sleep :- The chances of motion sickness increases with fatigue. So be sure to get your child sufficient quota of sleep before travelling.
Donæ° read :- While youæ®e riding in a car or on a rough plane or boat trip, the movement of the vehicles youæ®e in makes the printed matter on page move. This can make your child awfully dizzy so avoid them from reading anything.
Suck a lemon :- The early stages of motion sickness causes you to produce excess saliva, which dribbles down to your stomach and makes you nauseous. Sucking on lemon produces a chemical called tannins which reduces the nausea and saliva. Always carry lemon or lemon juice with you.
Homoeopathy eradicates motion sickness, in very severe cases it reduces motion sickness to a comfortable level.
In air sickness when there is sinking feeling nausea, heavy head, your child experiences fear at pit of stomach more so at landing and take off time. Take Tabaccum 200, 5 pills every hourly till you feel comfortable.
