Travel medicine box essentials

Trauma is the common accident we encounter when traveling. Whether it is a scrape, burn, head injury, or a sharp scratch, these seemingly ordinary minor injuries may cause big problems if not handled properly. Today, let's talk about those common medicines and aid measures to give you more peace of mind during your trip.

Essential items for travel injuries:

Items: iodine, cotton swabs, hydrocolloid Band-Aids, bandages, gauze, and saline solution.

Tips: If the wound can be rinsed, rinse it directly with running tap water, which can effectively shrink capillaries and reduce swelling. But if the wound is located in a difficult-to-rinse area such as the head and face, don't worry, cold compress with a clean towel is also effective. In order to deal with these emergencies, we have to prepare in advance. These seemingly ordinary items can come in handy at critical moments. Small wounds are fixed with Band-Aids, and large wounds are fixed with gauze and bandages, which is simple and practical. But not all wounds can be treated by yourself. Serious wounds such as full-thickness skin lacerations, sharp punctures, deep burns, and those caused by chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, all require timely medical treatment. These diseases are often accompanied by complex pathological changes, which are difficult for non-professionals to handle.

Travel medicines:

Cold is one of the common diseases during travel. Symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and headache are unbearable. You can bring some cold medicine, but please remember that antipyretics are generally not recommended when the body temperature does not exceed 38.5℃. In addition to colds, pain is also a problem that we can hardly avoid during travel. Headaches caused by acclimatization and swelling and pain caused by sprains can be relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. But please note that it is not recommended to use painkillers for unexplained abdominal pain to avoid masking the condition.

Travel essentials:

Items: masks, face shields, gloves, loratadine, cetirizine.

Tips: In an unfamiliar environment, allergies are also a major hidden danger. Environmental factors such as pollen, dust mites, seawater, and food factors can all cause allergies. At this time, anti-allergic drugs such as loratadine and cetirizine can come in handy. But please note that anti-allergic drugs are not omnipotent. For severe allergic reactions, you still need to seek medical attention in time.

We need to be fully prepared to deal with various emergencies during travel. Preparing some common medicines and aid measures in advance can make us more calm when encountering accidents. At the same time, we also need to maintain good living habits and mentality to cope with various challenges during travel.
