PROMPT

Help with motion sickness and jet lag for a child. Ask for age, travel type, symptom pattern, and duration. Output: prevention checklist + schedule shift plan + clinician question list.

How It Works

Provides a non-medication-first approach and organizes "what helps" into a checklist.

Triggers

  1. Child gets carsick or nauseous during travel
  2. Time zone changes disrupt sleep for days
  3. Parent wants a plan that avoids guesswork

Steps

  1. Identify triggers: reading, seat position, heavy meals, heat.
  2. Motion plan: seating, horizon viewing, fresh air, snack strategy.
  3. Jet lag plan: gradual bedtime shift + morning light exposure.
  4. Pack a comfort kit: wipes, change of clothes, bags, water.
  5. Provide clinician question list if considering medications.

Constraints & Edge Cases

  • Medication guidance is clinician-specific.
  • Persistent vomiting, dehydration, or severe symptoms require medical advice.

Expected Outcomes

  • Fewer travel disruptions
  • Faster time-zone adjustment
