@user-ly1bh8zs6k 2 месяца назад

As an RN I would like to make another suggestion of adding aspirin. If you have no contraindications based on tolerance or other meds you are taking, then take one 325mg. aspirin before your flight to help reduce chance of blood clots from decreased circulation.

The smaller kit is called a pocket pharmacy or EDC (Every day carry) pharmacy

@twtexas17 2 месяца назад

My travel first aid kit looks a lot like yours, but I have a few more things: tylenol, cold/flu medicine, thermometer, and anti-constipation medicine. Like you said, you hope we never have to use diarrhea medicine, but don't forget the opposite end. There's nothing worse than being backed up as well lol!

@bettyswain5100 2 месяца назад

I always take Excedrin Migraine medicine with me.

@catwomanva 27 дней назад

Since you hike a lot, Hydrocolloid Gel Cushion Bandages would help with blisters (either to prevent or help heal). They're also waterproof, so they would protect wounds from infection if swimming or hiking through the mud. I always carry some with me, especially on trips where I'll be walking a lot - even comfy sandals that I've worn a bunch can occasionally cause a blister. People also recommend moleskin, but I haven't really tried that.

@sherryschumacher1881 2 месяца назад

Great video! You might look into "Hall's Minis" which are tic-tac sized cough drops. They work really well and take up a fraction of the space of a regular sized cough drop. I also always carry Gas X, especially on flights. Another thing I carry in my medical kit is a digital thermometer. Have a wonderful trip!

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Wow! Thanks so much for all the great recommendations! Appreciate the comment

@lskazalski 2 месяца назад

Another alternative to immodium, pepto bismol, & gas-x is immodium multi-symptom.

@catwomanva 27 дней назад

Gas-X never worked for me (even the stronger version), but the Walmart supposed dupe actually works much better. It's the Equate Gas Relief and Prevention Food Enzyme Dietary Supplement. I LOVE broccoli, but my body doesn't anymore. Two of those capsules, and I can eat my fav food again!

@SkypackVacuumBackpack Месяц назад

Wow, great packing tips! Medications are so important when traveling. Thanks for sharing! ☺

@michellechristmas422 2 месяца назад

Looks like my kit. I also take the smaller pill pack. The only thing I would add to yours is some pre-cut mole skin for blisters.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

That is a good one!! Thanks for watching ❤️

@colleenc5008 2 месяца назад

I carry moleskin with me too. I buy the Dr Scholl’s roll of moleskin and cut some pieces to carry. I leave the roll at home. The moleskin in the roll has more padding than the precut version, and is my preference. Happy travels!

@virginialarsen8598 2 месяца назад

I would add probiotics to your kit. Good tips to augment my med kit. I use much smaller zip bags to hold the loose pills and use stick on labels. The eye drops (non preservatives are better) and Neosporin, need to go in the TSA bag, then transferred back afterwards.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Oh yeah, probiotics are great! Thanks for all the good recommendations. ❤️

@virginialarsen8598 2 месяца назад

@@thetravelcoaches I replied previously, but it didn’t show up, so sorry if you get 2 responses. My med kit invades the cough drops, digestive enzyme,, cold sore treatment, lactase pills, plus: -Lactose capsules/chew tablets -Aspirin -Charcoal capsules -Papaya chew tablets -Naprosen -Hydrolyzed collagen (cuts) -Advil -Tantum Verde throat sprays-2 -Loratadine tablets -Calcitab antacid chew tablets -Alka Seltzer -Ibuprofen -Claritin tablets -Claritin D (equivalent) tablets -Ducosolate stool softener -Flumucil cough fizz tablets -Imodium -Simethicone Loperamide HCI -PankReo-flatulence absorption -cough drops, Dr. Bayard -Bacitracina (neomycin equiv) -Dramamine -Zyrtec

Your list is exactly what I have in my kit. The Immodium for sure is a life saver.

@chrystaltuckness5298 2 месяца назад

Great pack! I have added a small old fashioned fillable ice pack from Dollar Tree (for my husband). On our last trip, he needed it before even getting on our first flight!! The frequency of him needing it is a running joke now…

@avie2897 21 день назад

For those with ear pain while flying, bring a decongestant pill (such as Advil cold and sinus)!

@ericpelletier7721 2 месяца назад

Great video, thanks. Keep in mind that while having your medication with you at all time might be handy, if they are with you all day long at high temperatures for a multiple days, they may spoil or be less efficient.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Good point! Thanks for watching❤️

@ellengriffith2561 2 месяца назад

It should not be a problem unless they are left in an enclosed space like a car.

@ericpelletier7721 2 месяца назад

All I’m saying is it’s ok for one trip, but don’t keep them for your next trip 6 months later

@sdophoto1405 2 месяца назад

Great video but some countries require everything in their original bottle. This is what I struggle with.

Thank you for this video. I love the idea of a main medical kit and the pocket version of the medical kit. We are going to be traveling a lot this year and the last thing I want to spend time doing is searching for a store with a pharmacy section.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching❤️

@DsnyLuv 2 месяца назад

We went on a cruise to Northern Europe for 11 days and all of us got colds. The cruise did not sell any tupe of medicine (they wanted you to go to the medical) no over the counter anything We had to wait miserable and sick to come out to a pharmacy in Netherlands to get meds and then to explain what we needed and read the ingredients was a challenge. Now we pack cold/flu meds And for a cruise since there are no Dentist we are bringing an emergency dental kit as well😊

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing, that is valuable information to know!

@happycruiser 2 месяца назад

I like the idea of the smaller container. Way better than digging into my larger supply. Thanks for that hint.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching❤️

@traceyrusthoven2097 2 месяца назад

Great Video thank you. My kit is similar but I am much older and have to bring extra things LOL. Like tons of vitamins I purchased the silicone reusable tiny ziploc style bags for smaller quantities of medications (plus they are better for the environment) When I travel to Europe I take my prescription meds in their original bottles and anything I take out of original packaging I Mae a photo copy of the front and back of the bottle/box and put it in with my medications.

Dipped into my travel kit this morning for some muscle relaxant/back pain medication, nothing serious, but just wanted to add that while our lists are very similar, I wouldn't travel without this.

@carolynhahn1718 2 месяца назад

Gotta say. I never knew how bad my guts got on long flights until I brought some ginger chews and ate them on a 10 hr flight. No gut issues the entire trip and felt much better in general. Thanks for the tip

@karenaaltonen9844 2 месяца назад

I include some sort of blister pads in my daily carry. If you don't have pads specifically to cushion blisters, a BandAid might get you through the hike.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Yes! It seems I do need to add something like blister pads! Thanks for sharing and watching our video❤️

@tyd2k1 2 месяца назад

Great information. As for stomach issues you should try some activated charcoal tablets as well. You take them prior to eating something or as your stomach symptoms show up. It clears up things very quickly.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for the recommendation, it seems I need to as charcoal tablets to the packing list❤️

@deniseyoung5385 2 месяца назад

I always keep the gel blister bandages on me, even if I am just going out for the day. Nothing worse than getting a blister on your feet especially when you’re hurrying to an airport gate or out on a hike or something. Also a splinter remover or small tweezers and a tiny magnifying glass preferably with a light. I have gotten splinters in my hands or fingers in the weirdest places where I never expected to. Having something to get that out quickly can definitely make you much more comfortable to enjoy the rest of your day. Splinters are not always wooden, either, sometimes you can get glass slivers or metal shavings or stickers off plants or cacti. Which leads me to my last suggestion, an antibacterial wipe or alcohol swab or just some hydrogen peroxide swabs to clean a cut or something before applying the neosporen and bandage. If you put neosporen on without cleaning out the dirt or anything, it doesn’t really help that much. Otherwise, great kit and definitely worth packing one up, and I really like having the mini one that is easy to carry in a pocket or purse.

@Twogirlsabroad 2 месяца назад

@marjiecleveland 2 месяца назад

@maxallen-macdonald8791 2 месяца назад

Single use disposable thermometers can come in handy as well as all of the items you have specified and other recommendations in the comments. I also include a card of Tylenol Cold daytime and one of Night time, just in case.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Awesome! Thanks for watching ❤️

@dustygrrl 2 месяца назад

Yes!

@ellengriffith2561 2 месяца назад

Great informative video! As a retired RN, the only items could be added are a thermometer, aspirin & maybe something for constipation (usually not a travel problem but you never know). To clarify, both Tums and Pepto-Bismol contain calcium carbonate even though they are not the same drug. Tums is used for more for heartburn and Pepto-Bismol for diarrhea. I would encourage everyone to buy all generic OTC medications since it can save a lot of money! I also carry an identical "mini-med pack" in my purse! Happy travels!

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

Awesome recommendations! Really appreciate the comment and watching our video!

@rhondapelletier3036 2 месяца назад

I bring xtra strength tylenol as well. Thermometer with a few alcohol wipes to clean it. Also a few cold meds just in case. A little container of vaseline Great for chapped lips dry nose and dry skin. Alot goes a long way. Been using the same container for 10 years.

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

That’s right Vaseline! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Digestive enzymes are good to go with probiotics. These help protect the stomach and the rest of your digestive tract from foreign foods and dairy

@bethdevenis271 2 месяца назад

We have been traveling slowly and consistently for 2 years now, we started out with a first aid kit similar to yours and we learned that all we really need to travel with is, Ibuprofen, melatonin, a few bandaids and Imodium. Every thing else is very readily available everywhere in the world. Much less expensive than in the USA.

@teatimeontablemountain9205 2 месяца назад

Tsa will not allow loose pills without the identifying container or package, so it's a little frustrating if they stop you and check.

@mariareyes-ku6194 2 месяца назад

We take liquid pepto bismol. You can take it before eating any it covers your stomach to protect it from different foods. We also take a manual thermometer and fever medication.

Great video. We started bringing a similar medical kit over ten years ago after a bad episode of food poisoning in Spain. After a long night, our tour group bus was leaving before any pharmacies opened and we would not arrive at our next location until just before lunch. Suggestion, try the little, small pill bags (found near pill boxes in drug stores) for the loose pills versus the Ziplock bags. Also, we take immune boosting vitamins (multi-vitamin, vitamin C, D, zinc and elderberry). Happy travels!

@thetravelcoaches 2 месяца назад

I need to add some of those vitamins to my packing list! Thanks for sharing ❤️

You should NOT take ASA prior to flying. It’s best to wear compression stockings, move at least every 2 hours, walk,, stay hydrated, etc. high risk are those with this: Blood Clot Risk Factors Sitting for a long time without getting up and walking around can cause blood to pool in the veins of your legs. This can lead to blood clots. Other conditions increase your chances of getting blood clots, including Having had a previous blood clot Family history of blood clots Known clotting disorder Recent surgery, hospitalization, or injury Use of estrogen-containing birth control or hormone replacement therapy Current or recent pregnancy Older age Obesity Cancer or cancer treatment such as chemotherapy Serious medical conditions (for example, congestive heart failure or inflammatory bowel disease)
