A6 If you become ill when traveling, don't settle for healthcare on the cheap. You get what you pay for, and you might regret taking that shortcut for years to come. #PTTravel

A6 If you're travelling to France with a small child, make sure you take plenty of Calpol/painkillers/cold remedies...as the French pharmacies seem to have a penchant for prescribing suppositories 😬 #pttravel

A6. Keep hydrated, find a pharmacy and try to get some pedialyte or Gatorade. Ask a travel partner or someone at the hostel to ask the front desk for some help if you’re not feeling up to getting it yourself. #PTTravel

A6 Your health is the most important thing. Don't put yourself at risk. Get insurance!
Learn a little first aid and carry a basic first aid kit.
Be kind to other people and offer help, even as small as a plaster, when you can

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6. Don’t panic. If you don’t feel well drink some water and have a nap, and then reassess the situation when you wake up. If you’re going somewhere remote pass your planned itinerary and insurance details onto someone you trust just in case. #PTTravel
