Not only mothers, but also all people, going on vacation, always wonder what medicines to take with them to the sea. This is not surprising, because when you get to a new place, there is a high risk of infection with local microbes, which can be familiar to local residents and unbearable for tourists. Most often, poisoning occurs, mainly from new water, which is part of any food. The reason for poor health can even be clean sea air, which enters the lungs of a person in much larger quantities than in a dusty city. In the summer, ailments such as sunburns, bites of various insects and even fever can also be waiting for tourists near the sea waters. Therefore, it is important to know in advance which medications to take with you to the sea best, so that the rest is pleasant and joyful.
First, we discuss the main categories of medications that you need to have with you during your vacation. Among them, we will name the following: from scratches and abrasions, from insects and their bites, from flu and colds, to normalize the intestines (antidiarrheal, from cramping in the stomach, and so on), as well as drugs against allergies. Now, knowing what medicines to take with you to the sea in such generalized groups, consider a more extended list, which indicates specific medicines and the specifics of their effect on the human body.
In the first category (remedies for wounds and abrasions), we isolate alcohol (or some other alcohol tincture), hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green or iodine, cotton wool, a bandage, a bactericidal patch. This is the "backbone" of any first-aid kit that is needed at sea, regardless of age and human health. Indeed, no one is immune from mechanical damage. From bites of local "insects" an excellent remedy is Psilo-Balsam. You can buy this tool at any pharmacy at a very affordable price.
Now we will consider what medicines to take with you to the sea so that the rest is not overshadowed by the common cold and runny nose. First of all, it is important to have Streptocid tablets with you as a kind of homeopathic remedy. From antipyretic drugs, take Paracetamol in tablets or suppositories. If a baby goes on vacation with you, baby syrups for heat and cough are simply necessary. Consult your pediatrician in advance about which one is best for your child. Do not forget to bring a thermometer with you to avoid “false alarms”.
Next, we will protect our own stomach. The ideal painkillers are Enterosgel and Smecta, which should certainly add to your list of medicines. At sea, you also need to take the Regidron medication, which will help normalize the water balance in cases of poisoning. Do not forget about such drugs as No-Shpa, Sorbeks and other drugs that relieve sharp pain and stabilize the gastrointestinal tract.
Knowing in advance which medicines to take at sea is very important. It is also advisable to purchase all these drugs at home, and not at a resort pharmacy, because there their composition may slightly differ from that which will be offered in your city. And do not forget, when packing a first-aid kit, take a drug for allergies. The most effective is the tool "Claritin", which is suitable for both adults and children.
Now you know exactly what medicines to take with you to the sea so that your vacation is not overshadowed by unnecessary ailments. It remains only to wish all readers a pleasant vacation and great and long health.
