Throughout your journey, it’s vital to have a first aid kit with you that can handle minor ailments and injuries. Include OTC (over the counter) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like Tylenol or Advil for migraines, muscle pain and fever. For allergies, antihistamines work best while digestive problems may be solved through anti-diarrhea medication and rehydrating salts. A little amount of any prescribed drugs is important.
