A. Please don’t give it unless it was specifically prescribed for your child and you know the exact strength (mg per 5 mL). “Zofer/Zofer syrup” is usually Ondansetron, and the dose for a 5-year-old depends on the child’s weight and the syrup concentration (for example, some are 2 mg/5 mL, others are 4 mg/5 mL). Giving 30 mL could be far too much depending on the formulation. Medicines.org.uk +2 Also, ondansetron is not usually the first choice for simple car-motion sickness. For car-journey vomiting, safer immediate steps: Stop the car and let your child sit upright Small sips of water/ORS Fresh air/open window Avoid heavy food before travel Seat them where they can look forward (not at phone/books)
