Traveling with little kids is magical… but let’s be honest, it also means being prepared for literally anything. From fevers to tummy troubles to a mystery runny nose that appears out of nowhere, my suitcase always has a mini pharmacy tucked inside.

Here’s exactly what I’m currently traveling with for my kids, and why these essentials have earned a permanent spot in my bag:

✨ Genexa Kid’s Pain & Fever (ages 2-11)

This is my go-to for teething, fevers, or the random aches and pains that seem to show up on travel days. I love that it’s clean medicine—no artificial dyes, preservatives, or sweeteners. Basically, the stuff you want when you’re treating your child halfway across the world.

✨ Genexa Kid’s Multi-Symptom Cold & Flu (ages 4+)

Because kids don’t get sick on a schedule. This one covers it all—cough, sniffles, sneezing, and more—and it’s non-drowsy, so they can still enjoy the trip while feeling better.

✨ Genexa Kids’ Sleepology (ages 3-11)

Jet lag with kids is… next level. This gentle, melatonin-free sleep support helps regulate their sleep naturally when our time zones are upside down. I only use it when we really need help resetting!

✨ Genexa Kid’s Allergy Care (ages 3-11)

Whether it’s blooming flowers, new foods, or mystery allergens in hotel rooms, I keep this on hand to avoid itchy eyes and sniffly noses ruining our plans.

✨ Kids Immune Support Spray (ages 2-12)

This is part of our morning routine on every trip. A quick spray to help give their immune system a little extra love when we’re navigating airports, planes, and packed tourist spots.

✨ Travel First Aid Kit

Scraped knees on cobblestone streets, bug bites from a jungle hike, blisters from all-day exploring—this little kit has saved us many times. Bandaids, antiseptic wipes, tweezers, and more live here.

✨ Saline Spray (newborns +)

Perfect for clearing out dry airplane noses or helping with mild congestion. It’s safe, simple, and has prevented more than one airplane earache.

✨ Probiotic Lollipops (ages 3+)

Not only are these a fun treat, but they’re also helping support gut health while we’re eating unfamiliar foods and adjusting to new environments. A total win-win.

✨ Thermometer

I never travel without it. If someone feels warm, I don’t have to guess—I can take their temp and know exactly what we’re dealing with. It’s a little larger but it’s my favorite thermometer for accurate readings.

✨ Electrolytes

Hydration is key, especially when flying or when someone’s under the weather. I pack kid-friendly electrolytes to mix into water when needed.

✨ Fiber Gummies (ages 2+)

Let’s just say travel constipation is very real. These help keep everything moving smoothly even when routines (and diets) are all over the place.

Final Thoughts
These items may not be glamorous, but they are lifesavers when traveling with kids. I keep them all organized in a small pouch inside my carry-on, so they’re ready to go when we need them most.

Because nothing says “adventure” quite like pulling out a thermometer in the middle of a tropical resort, right?
