Travel First Aid Kit

If you travel, you're eventually going to get sick somewhere. Maybe somewhere exotic. And there are some things no one wants to explain to a male pharmacist. Travel blogger, Ashley Welton, says you can't pack for every emergency - but you can pack for the annoying and embarassing ones:

  • mini first aid kitPain medication (ibuprofen or Tylenol)
  • Decongestant (several days worth)
  • Allergy medication (non-drowsy and/or fast acting)
  • Stomach trouble remedies and antacids
  • Bandages in a variety of sizes and Neosporin
  • Feminine hygiene products and yeast infection treatments
  • Hand sanitizer or cleansing wipes
  • Seasickness medication if you're traveling by water and anti-altitude sickness medication if traveling to high altitudes
