What are the essential imported cold medicines for travel?

Have the items needed for the trip been drawn up? Zhao Jing from the Pharmacy Department of Zhongshan Hospital reminds you that you can keep some medicines on hand when traveling. Here is a list of medicines to keep when traveling.

1. Motion sickness medicine

While traveling, sometimes you need to take a long time in a car or ship. For people who suffer from motion sickness, it is simply a torture. At this time, motion sickness medicine is essential.

For example: motion sickness, ride sickness, motion sickness stickers, etc.

Usage: Take one tablet at a time, half an hour before taking a bus or boat.

2. Cold medicine

If you go to a place with a large temperature difference between day and night, you need to bring clothes for all seasons. If you accidentally catch a cold, you can take cold medicine in time to relieve the symptoms.

For example: Tylenol, Day and Night Baifu Ning, Baijiahei, etc.

Usage: Take one tablet every six hours, and take the night tablet before clinical use. Do not drink alcohol while taking it. Do not drive a vehicle after taking the night tablet.

3. Diarrhea medicine

Experiencing delicious food from various places is one of the great pleasures of traveling. Tasting all kinds of seafood is an indispensable part of a beach vacation. For people with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts, a little carelessness may cause diarrhea. Prepare anti-diarrhea medicine in advance so that you won’t be at a loss if you have diarrhea.

For example: Smecta.

Usage: Pour one bag into 50ml warm water, stir evenly and take it, three times a day.

4. Allergy medicine

Having allergies while traveling is also a troublesome thing. Pollen, food, prolonged exposure, etc. may be the cause of allergies. Sometimes being too irritable can cause symptoms of skin itching. Adjust your mood. If the symptoms are not relieved, take anti-allergic drugs.

For example: chlorpheniramine, Claritin, Sterling.

Usage: Take one tablet once a day. Be careful when drinking and do not drive.

5. Medication to prevent altitude sickness

Sichuan’s Daocheng Aden, Hongyuan Ruoergai Grassland, Seda, Mugecuo, Hailuogou, Huanglong, Siguniang Mountain, Danba, Mi Alor, etc., these places have beautiful natural scenery, but altitude sickness is the reason why many people are afraid to visit these scenic spots. Bringing medication for altitude sickness and mastering the first aid measures to deal with altitude sickness are must-do homework before traveling to the plateau.

For example: Rhodiola rosea, inosine.

Usage: One pill at a time, twice a day. However, the efficacy has not been proven and may vary from person to person.

6. External medication

When traveling outdoors, especially during mountain climbing and other activities, bumps and bruises are inevitable. In the wild, in the mountains, or in places where few people speak, it is difficult to find pharmacies. Bring some topical medicine with you so that you can do some emergency treatment yourself even if there is an accidental bump.

For example: Band-Aid, Yunnan Baiyao

7. Anti-mosquito and heatstroke-proof medicine

Students who travel to tropical areas will have hot weather and many mosquitoes. You can bring Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Fengyoujing to prevent heat stroke, mosquito bites and other conditions.

If the condition is serious, you need to go to a local medical institution immediately.
