I had a few messages following on from our India trip re what we took to cover all bases. It’s funny how so many of us have a mini freak out at the thought of going to India and getting sick where actually it really isn’t that bad at all. Plus getting deli belly means losing a few pounds 😉
Jokes aside, I was quite nervous as Saajan has a pretty low immune system and it was also Arjun’s first time visiting our motherland. I was so so excited to take the kids but I wanted to ensure we covered all bases. I spoke to a few friends and family and gathered together a list of the things we should take just incase. I’ve shared the list below and hope you find it helpful.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to use any of the medicine we’d taken. Do you take anything in addition?
- Milton wipes
- Antibacterial hand gel
- Disposable toilet seat covers
- Childrens plasters (with their favourite print to calm them down if they take a fall!)
- Baby vicks
- Baby Nurofen
- Calpol
- Baby piriton
- Anbesol teething gel
- Nasal saline spray
- Nasal sucker
- Thermometer
- Calamine lotion – works great for sun burn
- Mini first aid kit
- Dirolite
- Jungle spray
- Kool n soothe packs
- Savlon
- Lozenges
- Blister pads
- Anti histamine
- Plasters for grown ups
- Germolene
- Grown ups Nurofen
- Paracetamol
- All in one cold and flu tablets
We also packed a few Robinson’s Squash’d to keep the kids fluids up.
