Following on from my last post and what to do if you get ill abroad, how many of us actually take a first aid kit with us when we travel? I pride myself on the contents of my first aid kit but it was useless on our last holiday when my 4 year old got stung as it was left behind in the kitchen cupboard.
Accidents and injuries abroad are a very common reason for travellers needing medical help abroad so pack a kit and carry it with you. It's of no use if it's left behind in the hotel room.
You don't need to take a complete chemist shop with you but a well thought out kit will allow you to treat common injuries and illness. Common things commonly happen so don't forget basic things like plasters, bandages and good old paracetamol. It's amazing how much better you can feel once you have taken some pain killers.
First aid kits can be bought pre-assembled or you can put your own kit together. Please see the link for what to put in a first aid kit.
On that note, I am off to check my first aid kit is topped up for my holiday next week and not left behind in the cupboard!
when having a children around you, we need to make safe from sickness specially you are going to visit another place..that's very much important..
