Hi, Hello,

Happen to me a seasonal flu, typically for me with this wheater and my low immunity so I was not suprised but sadly - not prepared.

I have my own medicine from my home country, because I knew some pills here are only on prescription list, where I’am from- they are just lying on shelves waiting for me. It is typical ibuprofen, paracetamol mixture.

My question is;

What are the “must have” pills here? What can I get without prescription but it will work nonetheless good? How your “home first” aid kit looks like? Pills, powders?

Ps. I got first symptoms of cold sores. I know patches exist, but the pills that I usually take - you need to have doctor note. It made me to think about this topic. And yeah, some advice on this little motherlovers would be nice.

TL;rd What drugs do you have at home?
