Do you travel with your Basic health kit wether domestic or international? If yes, what do you usually bring, and where do you place it, carry - on luggage or checked in luggage?
No matter where i go, I do always bring on some over the counter medicine with me, be it locally or international, (Taught by my Mum). You might not never know when the illness will attacks you. It is always good to be prepared. Basic medicines or medicines that you know you can use, like the ones in your medicine cabinet.
As a a mother, I always make sure i carry essentials stuff and medicines for my family at within my reach. Bringing stuff or basic medicines i recognize and familiar with, makes me feel at ease, rather than buying a foreign brands i don't recognize.
In some other parts of the world, counterfeit drugs may be higher than 30%, according to the CDC's yellow book.
Travel Kit Essentials:
analgesics and paracetamols for fever and pains.
anti - motion medication
diarrhea medication (I always bring loperamide, immodium)
digital thermometer
antihistamines and decongestant, for allergies. ( I am using benadryl or claritin)
bandages
prescriptions medications
hand sanitiser or cleansing wipes and pocket of tissues
antibiotic ointment
insect repellants
Leaving the medicines in their original packaging will help you identify them easy.
Making your First aid kit will save you from hassles and off guard situations. It doesn't have to be posh or stylish, A toiletry kit with some detachable bag is ideal, It should be fit on your carry - on luggage.
Though International and domestic travel have their own kit, It is always wise to have yours at ready at all times and reachable.
Planning ahead and making a check list for all your needs will surely help you from unnecessary worries. Being self - reliance and ready at all times is a must.
Please let me know if there are some tips and OTC's (over the counter) drugs i have missed.
Hope this helps on your future travel. Thank you.
