Care whilst Abroad

If you become unwell with diarrhoea and or vomiting it is important not to become dehydrated. You can buy sachets of an oral re-hydration powder mix, these may be available from the local chemist.

If you are unsure about the cleanliness of the water supply, you may want to take water sterilisation tablets with you. If you purchase bottle water, make sure the top is sealed.

Remember to drink plenty of water in hot climates as you will loose water through perspiration.

Ensure that all food is cooked thoroughly especially meats. Wash salads, vegetables and fruit thoroughly before eating.

Keep taking your routine daily medication as prescribed by your Doctor.

You need to consider any climate changes and adapt accordingly.
