Campfire songs, fresh ear, sleeping in a tent … - there are many unique and pleasant moments on a summer hike. The whole family can decide on this exciting event. There is something primitive in him and very close to every person. But, when alone with the wild, it is always important to remember about safety
In addition to the southern resorts with a lazy, unhurried rest, during summer holidays, you can set aside time for a hike in the forest. This will allow you to change the scenery and go somewhere far away from the dust of the city and the hustle and bustle of civilization. But, preparing for the trip, it is worth taking care of the tourist's first-aid kit, which includes a set of medicines necessary for emergency situations. Even if you don't need it for the entire trip, it is still important to have it on hand.
Individual approach
By and large, there is no universal, strict list of drugs for a travel medicine cabinet. It is important to first focus on the characteristics of the person himself and those accompanying him. For example, if he is prone to allergies, it will be useful to seize antihistamines ("Suprastin", "Zodak" or "Tavegil"). If there are any chronic diseases, then you must remember to take the medications prescribed by your doctor.
If tourists are prone to seasickness, or if they often get seasick on the way, then they should definitely take a drug like "Avia-More" or "Dramina". But we must not forget that these medications provoke drowsiness.
If the road is stressful for you, then make sure that there is a sedative medicine in the first-aid kit (such as Novo-Passita, motherwort or ordinary valerian). While being in touch with nature, silence and beautiful wild landscapes are great at fighting stress and anxiety.
Colds and insects
If the rest will take place in places with a large accumulation of insects, it is advisable to have mosquito, fly and tick repellent in the first-aid kit (ointments, sprays and smoke bombs). Please note that mosquito repellents may not be suitable for tick protection. Better to be vaccinated beforehand. Especially the activity of blood-sucking insects is manifested at night. It is useful to treat not only the body and things with repellents, but also the tent.
When resting, it is not surprising to catch a cold. Due to climate change, the body is susceptible to any draft. Therefore, in advance you need to purchase a thermometer and something antipyretic based on paracetamol, such as Efferalgan or Panadol. It is not worth saving and buying a glass mercury thermometer, as it can break during travel and cause a lot of trouble. Long gone are the days when a battery-powered digital thermometer was something cosmic and cost crazy money. Against acute respiratory infections, it is useful for a tourist to have in his first-aid kit fast-acting and effective drugs such as "TerraFlu" or "Coldrex", which will help to quickly relieve the symptoms of the disease and alleviate the condition.
Ambrobene and Sinekod can help out with a dry cough, and Hexoral spray will help relieve a sore throat. "Spazmalgin", "Baralgin", "Analgin" or any other anesthetic will help with headaches or toothaches, and will not spoil the well-deserved vacation. However, it is worth considering that each person has his own peculiarities of perception of the above means: one is suitable for someone, and another for someone.
Poisoning and wounds
Often, tourists have to resort to the use of remedies for gastrointestinal disorders. Here drugs such as "Smecta", "Linex" or "Immodium" can provide undeniable help. Also can help out in a similar situation "Mezim-Forte", "Festal" or "Levomycitin". And the well-known "No-Shpa" will help relieve spasms. It is important to always maintain good hand hygiene when doing this. To do this, it is useful to put antibacterial wipes or gel in the medicine cabinet.
Well, do not forget about such well-known means as green pencil, iodine or hydrogen peroxide, bactericidal plaster, cotton pads … All this is useful in the treatment of abrasions, cuts and calluses. Even an ordinary gauze bandage, not taking up much space in the first-aid kit, can sometimes help out a lot. If a person has long hiking trips, and he is prone to frequent sprains, then it is better for him to hurry up in advance and buy an elastic bandage with him on the trip.
In order not to forget anything when collecting a first aid kit, it is first advisable to make a list of health problems that may worsen or happen on a hike. You should not put everything in the first-aid kit - on a hike, extra load only complicates the situation. Remember: a tourist's first-aid kit on the road is like an umbrella from the rain: if you don't take it with you, it will definitely rain.
