Things to Keep in a Travel First-Aid Kit

Travel First Aid Kit
A First Aid Kit is a Box/Pouch which has some basic Medicines to cope with minor injuries and illnesses. We often keep a First Aid Kit in our Homes to deal with minor injuries. A Traveler is always exposed to moving from one place to another, hence making them prone to injuries and illnesses. A traveler may experience different Air, Water and Food at different places. Sometimes, he/she might not be able to adapt the different food culture. Also, small injuries may occur at any time of the trip. These situations can arise with anyone and anywhere. Thus, it is important that travelers carry a First Aid Kit with them. In this Blog, we will tell you the types of Medicines and First Aid Items in your Travel First Aid Kit. Let’s get started…..



Band-Aid

1. Band Aids: Purchase a few strips of Band Aids for small and minor cuts. These small strips can be give you immediate relief from small injuries like cuts and bleeding.

2. Stomach ache Capsule: Purchase a strip of capsules/tablets which help in managing stomach pain. Stomach Pain may occur due to Food or Water. Many times a different Food culture doesn’t suit your body.
