Sometimes, due to the chosen destination or the circumstances of the trip, it is necessary to carry a first-aid kit in the luggage to help us overcome certain health problems that may arise. These are bruises, small wounds or ailments for which we will need certain medications.
One of the cases in which the travel kit becomes totally essential is when we travel to some remote country in which access to medical care is difficult. We tell you how to prepare your travel kit and what cannot be missing from it.
Being cautious pays off
It is clear that it is not about carrying everything you need for any problem that may arise during the trip, nor are we going to put ourselves at the worst. Rather, it is about being prepared to combat these small annoyances that it is normal that they happen to us and for which we have no choice when we are at home. Here you have a small list with what you can not miss in your travel kit. Remember that you have to save space, something that usually does not abound when we prepare our luggage, so you will have to be practical.
- To cure wounds As small cuts, chafing and more, you will need gauze, iodine or disinfectant, sticking plaster and bandages.
- Take an antihistamine for possible allergy attacks. And if you have a food allergy that could be serious, take the pre-filled adrenaline pen. You already know that it can save your life.
- A medicine against diarrhea It can be very useful when you are traveling.
- And, of course, you cannot miss analgesics that will come in handy to treat any pain: acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which is also anti-inflammatory.
