Consult with your doctor before traveling to obtain specific travel health recommendations and vaccinations, and medical clearance as required, especially if you have recently been sick or find yourself coming down with an illness close to your travel date. It is also worth inquiring whether it is necessary or advisable to get a dental check-up. This is particularly important for people with chronic or recurrent dental problems.
Stay Healthy
- Be sure your medical insurance covers you where you are going.
- If possible, pack a double supply of any medication in the original bottles with a copy of the prescription, as well as any special medical ID bracelets or tags.
- Carry documentation that lists your doctor’s contact information, medications and blood type in case of an emergency.
- Bring a personal travel medical kit that includes bandages, antiseptic cream, hand sanitizer, over-the-counter medications (pain reliever, cold/flu medicine, anti-diarrheal medications, motion-sickness medications and antihistamines), sunscreen and aloe.
- If flying, or if you will be at a different altitude during your trip, know if different altitudes might affect your medication.
- Women who are more than 36 weeks pregnant should consult a doctor before flying.
- Exercise caution with local water since you might need to avoid drinking tap water, unbottled beverages or drinks with ice.
- If drinking alcohol is legal, limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
- Avoid having any manicures, pedicures, acupuncture treatments, piercings or tattoos done while you are traveling.
