With no understanding of the country&#8217;s language, how to describe your sickness can be challenging. Try to describe a migraine, stomach ache, or allergy without using\u00a0 common vocabulary. Prevent misunderstandings by taking a small note of important words such as head, stomach, pain, headache, dizziness, fever, little, serious, etc. Have it ready with you or bookmark it on your phone. Even better, acquire a translation app. Most of them are offline, so you don&#8217;t even have to have internet. Having the ability to clearly describe your symptoms will allow local physicians to comprehend your situation quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_a_Doctors_Prescription\"><\/span><b>Keep a Doctor&#8217;s Prescription<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any pre-existing medical condition like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease, then your doctor can provide a brief note about it. The note must mention your medical condition. List all medications you take regularly.\u00a0 State any allergy or sensitivity to specific medicines in the past. This brief note can save lots of time and facilitate proper treatment by doctors abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pack_Essential_Medicines\"><\/span><b>Pack Essential Medicines<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t expect to have your prescription easily available in another nation. Take enough stock for the duration of your trip and a bit more for some extra days, in case your return is postponed. Original packages or bottles with legible labels. Your doctor&#8217;s letter and prescription. Other countries have strict prohibitions against some medications. Verify in advance if your medications are permitted in the destination country. Having your original packaging and documents will avoid any miscommunication during customs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save_Embassy_and_Consulate_Contacts\"><\/span><b>Save Embassy and Consulate Contacts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you ever happen to be in the middle of a serious medical crisis or a legal problem, your host country&#8217;s Embassy or Consulate is where you need to turn to first. Save the contact numbers and addresses of Embassies and Consulates in your host country before you leave. Save both a hard copy and a digital one. This way, you&#8217;re not left frantically seeking assistance in the middle of a crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_aware_of_the_Flight_Change_Policies\"><\/span><b>Be aware of the Flight Change Policies<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you become ill or have a medical emergency, you may need to reschedule your flights. That is why it is advisable to understand how your airline deals with rescheduling before booking. Ask if there is a fee for date-changing? How much is the penalty? Do you receive a refund or travel credit if canceled? If you&#8217;ve booked with a virtual agency, you should be able to log in to your account and get a change quote. Transparency about such policies prevents eleventh-hour shockers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assemble_a_Small_Medical_Travel_Kit\"><\/span><b>Assemble a Small Medical Travel Kit<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include antacids, analgesics, band-aids, antiseptic wipes, motion sickness pills, and a thermometer, in addition to prescription drugs.\u00a0 You can have a small first-aid kit so that you can handle minor issues without rushing to a pharmacy in a distant city.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_Informed_about_Local_Medical_Services\"><\/span><b>Stay Informed about Local Medical Services<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the nearest hospitals and clinics to your hotel or destination. You don&#8217;t want a list, but being aware of one good hospital or the emergency number in advance is life-saving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel is exciting, but disaster is lurking. By adopting simple precautions, acquiring simple words, bringing paperwork, and storing sufficient medicine and buying travel insurance, you can have a comfortable trip. That\u2019s why preparing for medical emergencies before you board the plane is so valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re heading to the USA, there&#8217;s no need to stretch your budget.
