allergy
Good people, did anyone in Thailand have an allergy to food, fruits, swelling of the face, legs? Tell me, how did you escape? What effective pills should I take with me? and they put a dropper because there was swelling of the larynx, it was scary to look at my face. I am very afraid of a similar reaction in Thailand. Thank you all in advance. Natalia.

If you are allergic, only you can know what you are allergic to and what drugs are most effective for you.
I can say about Thailand that there are frequent cases of solar allergies, therefore - maximum protection, panthenol spray and dermavat ointment should be required. Of the sedatives, I take loratadine with me (the same Claratin, only 5 times cheaper). From eating disorders necessarily more coal and nifuroxazide.
If you know there might be problems, make sure you get good insurance. Medicine in Thailand is quite on the level.
What else do we take: aspirin, paracetamol, benalgin, biseptol, no-shpa, albucid, furatsilin, miramistin, patch, peroxide or brilliant green in a pencil, electronic thermometer, disposable syringe. It is advisable to carry a syringe with you on excursions to nature, you can go to the beach - if a snake bites, you can immediately draw blood with a syringe.
In fairness, I note that I had to use only all the remedies for burns and once charcoal (my husband was very poisoned, either with unroasted crocodile skewers, or some kind of rubbish in the green curry balls).
Good luck and don't get sick!

I wasn't allergic to anything. The trip went without problems. The breakfast was European, the food was good.

Well done, 57888! Good advice to people! And what to write where they do not ask! There was no allergy, well, rest! A person needs real advice, not your good health. I also had an allergy in Turkey and in Thailand, though it didn’t reach Quincke, so, urticaria, but I assumed that it might be so. I took Zirtek back and forth, in my opinion it is better than all antihistamines. And I also need an ointment, I took Advantan, just which I had at home. And about the first-aid kit, I went too far again, following the advice of such wise men. She sent her daughter to America 2 weeks before, raked everything out, we went to buy everything in a new way. There you will be tired of carrying it. In addition to the head and allergies, we didn’t even get anything, although I’m a capricious person, in terms of health, this can come out - I don’t expect it myself. Well, the patch is still, it’s her own fault, she brought new shoes. Of course, we must take a minimum, but there is also Thai medicine! Thai pharmacies! If no shit in English. do not understand, take the phone number. at the guide, and call him from the pharmacy, he himself will explain to them what you need to take. Yes, you do have insurance! And carry around with a syringe! Fly away! I swear, except from the bus, the only time in the depths of the island on the side of the road, I have never seen a snake anywhere else.

Yes, I just didn’t add the fact that I often had allergies in different countries for unknown reasons, but I didn’t have it in Thailand.

allenyshka, you give us detailed instructions on what you can write here, what you can’t, otherwise it’s unbearable without your blessing :))))
You needed from allergies and head, someone from the heart and stomach, someone did not need anything at all. So what? Panthenol, Pantestin and Bipanthen are not in Thai pharmacies, only the one with which babies are rubbed against acne. The local analogue is twice as expensive and contains hormones. And, of course, if your route is bar-walking street-pool, then snakes do not threaten you. And all more or less experienced tourists know about shritsa, what amused you so much? Apparently, the unbearable weight of this syringe, you have to DRAG with it !!!
Thanks for the smarties! I have the same opinion about myself.

Dear, I have never heard of such a bar! To your surprise, you seem to be a regular there. And if you are such a super nurse, carry at least a gas mask with you, it’s your business, just then, after your advice like this, people begin to gather like it’s the last time, they will scare them, and they drag everything with them that is necessary and not necessary. The question was quite specific. And do not contradict yourself, thinking that you are contradicting me - decide whether medicine is at the level in Tae or not. Yes, as far as hormones are concerned, I see that you have been conducting research. Poor Thai children, they turn out to be rubbed with hormones. And what about our ointments with similar hormones (there is no allergy without hormones, just the doses are different) - well, yes, this is in contrast to me. And about your routes, I would like to say, then it’s better not to go to inhabited and more or less civilized places where there are pharmacies, medicine, etc., but with a guitar and to the taiga. With your first aid kit will be just right. Oh yes, I just realized where you "rest" with the snakes - I was in Pattaya, so beloved by you, and thank God, I never will be! I heard a lot. And everyone knows about their sores and usual medicines even without you. You agree with me! (see your first opus, sentence #1)

allenyshka, my dear, why are you so boiled? They wanted to show off their mind, but it turns out - poison. Not good. Where should I go, I'll somehow figure it out without you, my dear, teach your daughter better.
Panthenol, Pantestin and Bipanthen are not anti-allergic remedies, but sunburns, there are no hormones in them, but there is a Thai remedy for burns.
Yes, Alyonushka, you know, in our pharmacies they still sell small packages with small small pills and small bottles, it’s not at all necessary to DRAG 5 kilos of analgin and a bucket of corvalol with you. "Favorite" Pattaya???? Believe it or not, last week I discussed with your, apparently, sister in mind, - I said that you shouldn’t go to this viper called Pattaya, and she proceeded with malice (like you are now, approximately) that Pattaya is a paradise on earth . So who knows you? On Koh Samui, there are definitely snakes on Tao, and in Krabi, and even in hotels there are.

Hello everyone! Well, why are you quarreling like that!? I really needed good advice, but I didn’t get it. I took drugs that remove toxins and allergens from the body, a bunch of antihistamines, but, fortunately, I didn’t have to use them. Oddly enough , there was no allergy and urticaria. Only my eyes swelled a little, as I believe, from the heat. Thank you all for not remaining indifferent to someone else's misfortune.

I will answer in essence: Tai fruits cause allergies in only 2% of tourists, and most often these are children. . . Children up to 3 years of age are generally not recommended to give even products familiar to us. (mushrooms, pomegranates, seafood) I advise you to buy KATATIFEN if you are allergic and are afraid of unfamiliar products. It is a blocker and for 2 days one tablet will protect your body from this disease. I advise you to take the pill at night. there is a slight tendency to sleepiness!! Try all fruits. . It is very tasty, unusual and very useful. . . Just don't go overboard with the quantity. As for disorders: unfamiliar food, a lot of spices, a lot of oil. . . the stomach can simply break loose and it's not even a matter of poisoning. 2 tablets of tetracycline will strengthen your stomach and disinfect (Tetracycline is a mild antibiotic.) Relax and enjoy. This is a journey into the future; in Thailand it is now 2552 (calculation from the day of the transition of the Buddha to nirvana) and to another world. Because Thailand is another planet!
