Usually you need to do (and not do) several things.
Do look out the window at the horizon or keep your eyes closed.
Don't read.
Don't get overheated.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid caffeine.
Eat several small snacks; don't let your stomach get empty or full.
When you need to, focus on your breathing, and open the window.
Apparently ginger helps, especially if you start eating it a few days in advance. (Candied ginger is easy to eat.)
If you need to take medication, take it about half an hour before you get in the car.
You can try those wrist-bands.
Sit in the front passenger seat, or even better, if you can, be the driver.
Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
Regular rest stops can help, too.
Thought distraction can help for mild motion sickness. But it doesn't do a whole lot for the big nausea feelings.
And of course, don't talk about "gross" things.
At the end of the trip, allow for a couple of hours before you feel normal.

Drammamine. Bring cool bottled water on the car trip, if needed, put that against your forehead. Lay down in the backseat if you can.

Try taking a travel mug with lemon and ginger or peppermint tea. Both settle the stomach.

Crystalized ginger is basically slightly ginger and multiple sugar, so in case you react o.k. to sugar then choose for it. in simple terms verify its genuine crystalized ginger and not ginger flavored. Ginger tea is a miracle for me, its low-priced, yet i do no longer think of you are able to hold it waiting made onto a plane. you need to purchase envelopes of it nonetheless and that they are going to in all probability be keen to furnish you water as quickly as you're taking off to blend it up, and it relatively is scrumptious. good luck!

Chew lots of gum (it works for my relative) and there are also wristbands that work on the pressure points of your wrist--you can buy then at the drugstore
