Traveling without pain is not always a case for everybody but hay, who does not know the feverish anticipation of the holidays?

Whole days dedicated to well-being, freedom and pleasure. We refuse to consider the possibility of having unwelcome surprises, such as pain and various illnesses. Nevertheless…

Pain and fever can have various causes. This is usually a warning sign from the body. For this reason, in the presence of pain of unknown origin, it is always advisable to consult a doctor.

However, the cause is often known: back pain after a long car ride, headache after exposure to the sun, toothache, menstrual pain … If a medical examination is necessary, it can be postponed until after the holidays.

Without too many worries of mind. So far, so good. During the holidays, however, suffering is a company that is anything but welcome.

What to do in case of pain during the holidays?

Of course, the ideal is to be cautious, so as to avoid the onset of pain and / or fever, which risk ruining the feeling of freedom and pleasure of the holidays.

When packing your bags, provide a space for “first aid products”, which can be accessed quickly and easily. This category includes several drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc.), provided with an analgesic and antipyretic action (they fight pain and fever).

There is generally no need to carry a wide range of medicines with you. Even if you are traveling with children, the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with a sensitive stomach, you can limit yourself to just one substance: paracetamol.

However, there are situations in which it is preferable to have various products at hand, for example in the case of subjects suffering from intolerances or non-responders.

Most pain relievers come in multiple forms. When traveling, the ideal products are those that can be taken without water (tablets that melt in the mouth or chew, etc.).

Happy holidays!
