How to Pack a Professional Travel First Aid Kit?

A travel health kit is essential for any globetrotter. However, many travellers are unsure on what really goes in it. Have they over packed? Are they prepared for every major or minor medical emergency that they may encounter? What if they get sick and they don’t have a particular medicine?

Fret not! We have compiled the best travel first aid kit checklist for fellow travellers to help them with any medical misfortunes that they may encounter.

Your Ultimate First Aid Kit Checklist

Painkillers and Allergies

They should be the first things that go into your travel health kit. Include aspirin for headaches and pain relief for any part of your body. Also include ibuprofen as it reduces inflammation and an anti-histamine to reduce the chances of succumbing to allergies while travelling.

First Aid Travel Essentials

The best first aid kit for international travel would not be complete without the following first aid essentials.

·         Flexible adhesive bandage (butterfly, as well as regular)

·         Blister protection for all the walking that you are going to do

·         Hydrocortisone to avoid itching

·         Tape, because it is a universal solution to most problems

·         Finger cots that can come quite in handy in case of a nasty slice.

·         Liquid bandage for cuts on unconventional places, like a knuckle where normal bandages won’t stay put

·         Antiseptic pain-relieving spray

·         Burn relief gel

·         Rehydration salts that can help you a lot in case of food poisoning, over-imbibing or over exertion.

Stomach Relief Aids

When travelling to faraway lands, preparing the best travel first aid kit without stomach aids is unheard of. You never know the quality of food items or the level of sanitation during food preparation. Therefore, it is better to be prepared with the following.

·         Anti-diarrhoea tablets

·         Gravol for motion sickness and nausea

·         Antacid tablets, because you never know how exotic, spicy and foreign food might affect your stomach

·         Chewable digestive relief Bismuth tablets for more serious stomach issues

Cold and Flu

·         Daytime cold medicines

·         Night-time cold medicines

Preventative Aids

The best first aid kit for international travel is incomplete without some preventative aids that can help you with issues that you might not have thought about while packing. They are listed below.

·         Sleep aid

·         Lozenges

·         Dental wax

·         Vitamins

·         Wellness tablets

·         Oregano oil

·         Activated charcoal

·         Mosquito repellent

Face Masks or Protective Face Covering

With the Covid pandemic becoming a global phenomenon, no travel health kit is complete without a face mask or protective face shield. It is also a good idea to have hand sanitizers in your travel kit, as well as your hand bag. Choose a face mask from a MSN 1768 Supplier, to ensure better protection against Covid-19.
