Things to include in a first aid kit for your trip

Cough and colds.
Pain medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen (one brand: Tylenol), naproven (brand name: Aleve), ibuprofen (one brand: Motrin) or ketoprofen (brand name: Orudis).

Decongestants and antihistamines for allergies. For travel, the best are those that do not cause sleepiness.

Antibiotic ointment, adhesive bandages, hydrocortisone cream, fabric insulation “moleskin” for blisters, sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) 15, at least, and lip balm.

Medicine for motion sickness, such as dimenhydrinate (brand name: Dramamine), and an antinausea drug like promethazine (brand name: Phenergan (Phenergan)). Acetazolamide (brand name: Diamox) may help prevent altitude sickness.

Scissors, tweezers, nail clippers, pocket knife, thermometer, and mirror.
