Feel as though you’ve packed everything but the kitchen sink? Don’t forget your family holiday Health kit.
As you get ready to jet off on that much anticipated family Holiday, sickness may be the last thing on your mind. However with careful planning, common childhood ailments such as earache, colds, fever and teething needn’t be a hassle – leaving you able to relax and have fun.
Your Family Holiday Health Kit:
- Pack any medicines in your hand luggage
- Drinks (cooled boiled water for babies) – keep them hydrated on flights and encourage them to suck – to ease painful pressure in their ears
- Nurofen for Children (individual sachets) to lower fever and ease pain, are handy on holiday as they’re lightweight and can be thrown away after use
- Thermometer – to keep an eye on fever
- Insect repellent (choose one suitable for children)
- Re-hydration sachets for vomiting and diarrhoea
- Plasters
- Sun protection – high factor lotion, sun hat, t-shirt or sun suit
Remember!
There may be a limit on the volume of liquid you can take through security.
