Travel First Aid Kit- Needed Most When You Travel With Your Kids
A Travel First Aid Kit is something you just can’t ignore, especially if you plan to go out of country with your kids” says my friend. She is just back from her trip to Europe with her kids. Asking about all the important things she carried, the first thing she told me was about this kit. She explained that depending on where you are going, you may need many other things in your Travel First Aid Kit like...
· Antibiotics
· High altitude medications
· Sea-sickness medication
· Malaria prophylaxis
· Water sterilization tablets
· Ace wrap
· Finger splint (popsicle sticks work well)
· Instant ice pack
Now, this may look like it could take up your whole suitcase. But she usually tends to pare it down a bit depending on where she is headed with her kids.
“I prefer take medications for fevers because I won't want to wait until I can get to a pharmacy to treat it and antihistamine because our kids have needed them while traveling in the past”, she says. If I know there could be a motion sickness issue, such as a boat or plane ride I will take Children's Gravol from home because I have had difficulty finding it in other countries. And the one thing I never leave home without is polysporin with pain relief for Kids.
Now reading this, if you are a mother and venturing a little farther off the beaten path then you would want to carry all of the above in your Travel First Aid Kit. Perhaps a few more items knowing that they may not be easily available at your destination.
