When going on vacation, it is important to plan for all the little things and not forget to take anything with you, especially if you are going on a trip with children. Insurers remind that the most important items on the list are travel insurance policy or (medical expenses insurance) and a first aid kit.

Any long trip, especially at sea in the heat, can be fraught with a lot of unpleasant surprises. In order not to spoil your vacation and quickly cope with the illness, it is better to plan everything in advance. For an adult, it is enough to take a few familiar medications, but for a child this list is noticeably expanding.

Insurers advise that when collecting medications, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date and storage conditions of each drug. Also, don't forget the instructions - they will definitely be useful to accurately determine the dosage for yourself and your child.

When traveling, you will need:

  • an electronic, unbreakable thermometer;
  • sterile cotton wool, cotton swabs, sterile wipes;
  • bactericidal plaster;
  • bandage;
  • scissors with rounded ends (for ease of transportation);
  • a pipette;
  • tweezers.

From the medicines you need to take:

  • antipyretics;
  • antihistamines for allergies;
  • remedies for motion sickness;
  • sunburn remedies and sunscreens;
  • medicines for diarrhea, nausea, and rehydration;
  • antispasmodics and painkillers;
  • broad-spectrum antibiotics (use only when absolutely necessary);
  • enzyme preparations;
  • vasoconstrictor drops for a runny nose / nasal congestion;
  • spray for sore throat;
  • antimicrobial eye drops.

All of these drugs are freely available in pharmacies, that is, they are sold without a doctor's prescription.

Antiseptics are a separate group. If necessary, they will need to be used to treat the edges of the wound, having previously cleaned it of dirt.

You can choose several items from the list:

  • hydrogen peroxide;
  • brilliant green or iodine;
  • furatsilin;
  • miramistin or chlorhexidine.

In addition, you can take with you remedies for insect bites, jellyfish burns, ointments for bruises and sprains. And do not forget, of course, those drugs that you or your child may take constantly, as prescribed by a doctor.

Some people think that a first aid kit is not needed on a trip - everything can be purchased on site if necessary, but you can get sick or injured on the road. In addition, there are usually not many pharmacies on duty, and not all medicines are on sale, - insurers believe.

A properly assembled first aid kit, even if you do not have to resort to it, will give you a sense of peace, which is important for a good rest.

If you or your loved ones have suffered a serious injury, eye damage, heat stroke, bleeding, sudden loss of consciousness, convulsions, snake bite or other health disorders that require medical intervention - seek medical help without delay, do not self-medicate.
