9 “fun-tastic” tips for vacation

Holidays are supposed to be a fun, relaxing way to get away from it all, however, sometimes it does not happen this way.

Have you ever experienced getting sick while you are miles away from home? It is definitely not relaxing. Our vulnerability increases as fast as lighting…. It is funny how sometimes our own toilet seat becomes our precious asset, and the desire to return home starts appearing as a repetitive and unique thought…

                   Most times, a little preparation is all you need to avoid common vacation-related illnesses. The following are some tips that can make your trip enjoyable.

  1. Avoid Pain: Sleeping in odd positions during travel or while resting, carrying heavy luggage or overexerting yourself at play can cause pain. If you need to take painkillers, remember to read the instructions leaflet or seek advice on how to take them.
  2. Skin care: When you’re in a different environment it is important considering that your body hasn’t built immunity against. Sometimes a superficial cut or wound can quickly develop into a serious skin infection on holidays. Protect yourself by addressing minor wounds immediately. Clean them first, before using antiseptics! Saline Solution and some sterile gauze pads are basic items in your holiday bag!

If you find yourself feeling urinary urgency, frequency, difficulty with urination, and pain during urination, you may have developed a UTI (urinary tract infection).

Cranberry extract, vitamin C, and probiotics are all natural remedies you can use to treat a sudden urinary tract minor problem.
