Planning a vacation, we are used to pay much attention to collecting documents, things and money. However, the tourist's first aid kit is an important thing to take with on any journey too. Health disorders can happen in travelling and buying proper medicine is not always possible in another country. What if you need to bring specific medicines across the border? How to avoid overpayments for medicines if circumstances force you to acquire abroad? Let's talk about this in more detail.
The first rule of gathering in a trip means taking medicines prescribed by the doctor, which you take constantly. If you suffer from chronic diseases, it is also important to take drugs in case of sudden aggravation. If you take strong, psychotropic drugs, be sure to take with you the doctor`s prescription signed and sealed to avoid misunderstandings at the customs. What else should you take?
Preparations for the gastrointestinal tract
The traveler's first aid kit should include preparations that improve digestion and attack intestinal infection. Especially it is a key factor for hot country fans. Changing diet, new food and water can cause disorder intestine, so make sure it does not spoil your vacation. Changing conditions and a new kitchen are common causes of poisoning. Take with you drug "Filtrum", so that body's reactions do not spoil your vacation.
Anesthetics and antipyretic drugs
When collecting medicines for the trip, do not forget about the remedies stopping pain and lowering temperature. During travelling, you can feel fever and / or pain - some of the medicines have a complex effect, but it is better to have a separate remedy for eliminating spasms and pain. Analgesics are indispensable against sudden dental, headache, and joint pain.
Preparations against burns
Medicines for travelling to hot countries are obligatory components of the first aid kit. Pick up sunscreen cream featuring 20-30 protective factor. If you take your children with you, the degree of sunscreen protection should be 50. Not all tourists can avoid sunburn, so the drug used to heal the burns, is an indispensable solution.
Medicines healing injuries
The list of travelling medicines should include drugs healing abrasions, wounds, injuries. Particularly if you travel with small children. In order to heal injuries faster and avoid pain, do not forget to take with you:
- hydrogen peroxide;
- blakstonia / iodine (in a convenient form);
- plasters feat. bactericidal effect;
- bandage, gauze, napkins feat. hemostatic effect;
- Sterile cotton wool;
- Elastic bandage , that is useful in case of tension.
Preparations against motion sickness
The travel bag should contain drugs removing motion sickness - this is very important for those who do not tolerate car, air, and sea travelling. Sea sickness is a common disorder that is accompanied by nausea and vomiting when moving in a vehicle. Normal transferring is ensured with medications slowing transferring false signals to the "control center" brain. This helps avoid deterioration during travelling.
Medications against respiratory diseases
During holidays, it's easy enough to catch a cold due to acclimatization, numerous fans and air conditioners and other factors causing respiratory diseases. To solve this problem, anti-cold medications come to help: antiviral drugs, antibacterial drugs, drugs featuring symptomatic effect healing stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, and headache.
Antihistamines
Allergic reactions are common problem during vacation, because the body meets with many allergens, "alien" factors - unusual foods, flora, fauna, prolonged sunbathing. The manifestations of allergies vary from skin irritation to swollen mucous membranes. Be sure to always have antihistamines at hand - ointments, tablets or oral drops.
What you fail to take with you?
You should refuse from strong drugs, especially drugs. Exceptions are medications you take regularly according to the specialist`s prescription. In this case, you need to take with you the prescription signed and sealed.
Antibiotics are drugs taken only as directed by a specialist. People are not recommended take them at will, as it is pointless.
Some tourists visiting Africa and Asia, take care of taking antimalarials with them. However, we do not recommend doing this - the fact is that malaria is a very dangerous disease, so it is pretty challenging to treat independently. In addition, local medicines are often more effective than domestic ones - when malaria symptoms occur, consult a doctor, and he/she will prescribe you an appropriate treatment regimen.
How to make up a tourist's first aid kit?
It is important to adhere to a number of rules:
- Use a thermo-bag - medicines should be stored under special conditions, overheating and direct UV ray influence should be avoided, especially for antihistamines and suppositories;
- Check medication shelf-life before heading out;
- Keep medicines packed - this will avoid confusion;
- Take medication instructions with you to ensure proper administration.
Important: Before using, read the instructions or consult your doctor.
