How Do You Comfort Someone Who Has Just Been Car Sick?
• Take some baby wipes or tissues and gently wipe around their mouth, to remove any remainders of what they have just ridden themselves of. • Offer them a drink of water and a dry biscuit or cracker to soothe the possible pain in their stomach and throat. • Comfort your friend or relative as much as possible. Talk to them soothingly, cheer them up if they are feeling upset or down and just generally be there for them if they need you. • If they have soiled their clothes, help them clean up. This may be a very embarrassing situation for your friend or relative, and they may prefer to be left alone at this stage. • Offer them tissues, mouthwash and a toothbrush and toothpaste if available. If they feel fresh and clean they will most likely be in a far happier mood. Give them a paper bag or bucket to keep with them, just in case they throw up again. You could also try giving them a travel sickness tablet, if they still feel sick or you think that they are likely to throw up again.
