One mother of two who did not wish to be identified used the over-the-counter allergy and motion-sickness medicine Phenergan for a recent flight from Australia to the US. She said the first eight hours of the flight were "agony" and that she used the medication as a last resort to help her three-year-old daughter sleep.
In fact, when I venture into the den where my son is immersed in some 3-D tableau, I typically avert my eyes from the screen before I succumb to motion sickness.
