First aid supplies: e.g., adhesive plasters, sterile dressings, bandages, wound cleaning wipes, and medical adhesive for treating cuts, scrapes, and other injuries.
Motion sickness remedies: e.g., motion sickness tablets or chewing gum to reduce nausea and vomiting during travel.
Sunscreen: e.g., high SPF sunscreen and after-sun lotion for treating sunburn.
Insect repellent: e.g., insect repellent spray or cream to prevent insect bites.
Anti-diarrheal medications: e.g., loperamide to alleviate symptoms of diarrhea.
