In addition to your travel first aid kit, you should also consider packing a small “hand first aid kit” for your beach bag.
Sunburn, insect bites, minor injuries: relax by the water with a well-stocked “hand first aid kit.”
Whether you’re enjoying a swim in a local lake or a beach vacation on the Mediterranean, if you’re spending the summer outdoors, you should think about more than just sunscreen and a beach towel. A small, well-stocked beach first-aid kit can help you quickly treat unpleasant incidents – and make your vacation more relaxing. The ApoLife pharmacy group recommends practical equipment for this purpose.
First aid for cuts, stings, and sunburn
Bandages, tweezers, and disinfectant are particularly important for a day at the beach. Many beaches are not free of shells, broken glass, or pebbles, according to ApoLife. Minor wounds can be treated quickly with these items.
Remedies for insect bites are also indispensable. Whether at the lake or the Mediterranean, annoying pests can rarely be avoided, warn pharmacists. A soothing ointment can relieve itching and swelling.
A common problem at the beach: dry, sunburned lips. Lip balm with built-in UV protection can help. In case of sunburn, a cooling cream with panthenol or aloe vera is also recommended.
Additionally, it is advisable to bring small scissors, adhesive tape, and a magnifying glass to aid in identifying and removing small foreign objects.
Medicine for the cooler bag – tips from the pharmacist
Individual medications, such as those for headaches, digestive problems, or hay fever, should also be carried. Necessary: The medicines must not get too hot and should be transported in a small cooler bag if possible.
