Sick on vacation? Tips against 8 common summer illnesses

The feeling of the sun on our skin fills us with energy and good mood.

But the sun's rays often lead to harm if not treated with care: we suffer from sunburn, sunburn or heat stroke. In addition, other equally typical summer ailments are nausea, heavy feet and blisters from the long walks we take now that the weather has cleared. We often suffer from urinary tract infections due to the hours we spend at the sea or the pool and face digestive disorders due to the unusual food during the holidays.

These are the summer diseases that we may face in the summer:

Typical summer illness 1: Sunburn

Against exposure to the sun, our body reacts with skin irritation, slight swelling and in some cases with sunburn. Even in short-term exposure, we should protect our skin with sunscreen with a high protection index, because every sunburn increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

Our product tips – Treating sunburns:

  • La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 100ml: Thanks to its composition that combines Provitamin B5 5% with Madecassoside, it accelerates the regeneration of dry and irritated areas.
  • Algoflogen Skin Relieving Cream Fast Action 200ml: It is a moisturizing cream to treat the unpleasant symptoms (dehydration, redness, itching, skin irritation) from solar, thermal and chemical burns. 
  • Jalplast Cream 100gr: The main active ingredient of the JALPLAST series is hyaluronic acid, which stimulates the body's normal tissue healing process.

Typical summer illness 2: Sunburn

Hats are not only a stylistic choice but also protect us from the sun.

Sunburn is felt after intense exposure to the sun and is manifested by headache, restlessness and dizziness, symptoms due to the dehydration of our body. Disorientation, nausea and vomiting are also some other symptoms of this heat damage. Due to the acute lack of fluids, inadequate care can appear life-threatening and lead to circulatory collapse.

First aid for sunburn

  • If the patient is unconscious, call an emergency physician immediately.
  • Accompany the patient with sunbathing in a shady place.
  • Bring the injured person to the side safety position.
  • Cool his head and neck with a damp washcloth.
  • If the patient is responsive, position the upper body slightly elevated.
  • Give the affected person enough fluids, as long as they do not feel nauseous – in this case, be careful with the fluids.

Typical summer illness 3: Nausea

Many suffer from motion sickness and can't stand traveling by car, ship or even plane.

Dizziness, nausea and vomiting plague the traveler during the flight, train, bus or boat trip.

Avoid reading and look out the window. Looking ahead can help your sense of balance.

Try it Power Health Platinum Range Travel Joy to treat the symptoms of motion sickness during your trip.

Typical summer illness 4: UTI

Extended visits to the pool and long hours spent in the sea increase the chances of bladder infection. When our body is cold, blood flow to the sensitive area is reduced and bacteria such as E.coli take advantage of this situation by settling in the bladder. Women are more prone to these UTIs.

Treat a UTI by drinking plenty of fluids to increase the excretion of pathogenic organisms. Also try dietary supplements with cranberries and probiotics to treat it urinary tract infection.

Typical summer ailment 5: Heavy legs

Heavy legs? A cream with chestnuts and red vine leaves will help you.

Tired, aching and heavy legs are a sign of reduced venous activity. Most women suffer from heavy legs, which is due to connective tissue weakness or hereditary venous weakness. During the process, there may be the formation of varicose veins. "Heavy legs" are favored by travel and activities that require long periods of sitting or even extended standing.

Our product tips – Treatments for heavy legs:

  • Tecnoskin Heavy Legs Gel 150ml: Thanks to its composition, it increases blood microcirculation, reduces swelling, relieves heavy and tired legs.
  • A.Vogel Aesculaforce Forte 50 tablets: Taking horse chestnut helps to increase the strength and tone of the veins. Horse chestnut's astringent tannins, plant pigments and saponins combine to stimulate and strengthen the vein walls, reducing their permeability.
  • Aboca RuscoVen Bio Gel 100ml: It gives vigor and elasticity to the skin and reduces the feeling of heaviness in the lower limbs, especially at the end of the day.

Typical summer illness 6: Blisters on the feet

With the start of the summer season we become tourists. We are drawn to the charming nature, which is often accompanied by the famous blister on the foot on hiking trips or in search of the most enchanting beach.

Protect blisters with specialized treatment pads to enjoy sunny summer rides. The pad acts like a second skin, relieves pressure and pain and protects the wound from water, dirt and bacteria.

Our Product Tips – Foot Blister Remedies:

Compeed Blister Patch Set: Their hydrocolloid technology acts like a second skin, creating a protective gel that instantly relieves pain and prevents chafing, while also creating an environment suitable for accelerating the healing process.

Typical summer "disease" 7: Wounds

Injuries to the skin can be superficial (abrasions, scrapes and tears) or – including in the case of cuts and punctures – affect deeper tendons and nerves.

For small scratches, it is enough to clean the wound and cover it with adhesive pads.

First aid for injuries
  • If the skin is dirty, wash the wound with warm water.
  • Remove any foreign bodies from the wound to prevent infection.
  • Disinfect the injured skin area with an antiseptic.
  • Cover the wound with an adhesive pad when you are out and let the wound breathe and heal at home
  • Use a wound cream or healing ointment to help your wound heal.

Master Aid - Forte Med Assortiti 40 strip Self-adhesive gauze pads 5 sizes: Self-adhesive micro-bandages in the color of the skin in a case with a non-stick tampon and antimicrobial action. 

Typical summer illness 8: Gastrointestinal problems

Especially when traveling to foreign countries, gastrointestinal problems occur more often.

Summer illnesses like flatulence, diarrhea and constipation are caused by changes in diet. This often happens when we travel to foreign countries. A diet low in fiber often causes constipation. Diarrhea, in addition to typical gastrointestinal microbes, is caused by improperly stored food or food exposed to high temperatures.

Our Product Tips – Digestive Remedies:

Esi 10 Herbs Colon Cleanse 40 tablets: It is a herbal nutritional supplement of carefully selected herbs whose composition favors digestive function and helps regular bowel movements.

Let's be well prepared for the 8 most common summer illnesses, so that we can enjoy our holidays and our sunny walks on the sea!
