      I gave my family doc a long list of medication for this travel. The usual cough mixture, diahorea, vomitting, indigestion, etc all under $10. But for cream for varicose vein inflammation , gastric cost me a little more as it’s not the common list for travelers.

      At the moment, I’m standing at the Buckingham Palace gate with a beautiful white horse & a handsome police on it. I wished for some heat pack for the cold this morning.

      For cough mixture, diarrhoea, vomitting, indigestion etc total < $10 is reasonable.
      I didnt know there is cream for varicose vein inflammation which is useful for long haul flights.

          Risk assessment! I don't have these either as my family rarely needs them. In fact, I can't remember the last time we took any of these. So I don't stock them as they will probably get out of date and thrown away uneaten. If in Singapore, there is less need to stock up as we can always go (or ask a family member) and buy something when we need it. Perhaps I might buy some if we are going somewhere where the risk is higher, but again, my family hasn't needed them for years, and there are pharmacies in most towns.

          And actually, for diarrhoea and vomitting, we usually DIY with home treatments rather than take medication. For indigestion, we tough it out! But we don't get that as we tend to eat moderately and plainly.

Meeting up with a few frds’ youngsters who are students here, bring them Asian out for stuff & going for Tim sum. I’m sure they’ll it s these are my >40 yes BS mates & kids gfrd. They’ll bring us to their church fr service.

                I regret not bringing along a heat pack with me now.

                    Yup! Some of my medication costs only $2. This is a family doc that had been with us for >10 years.
                    I think your Pte family doc gave u very special rate , or yours is the mederka generation card? But still quite cheap for ur clinic

                    I thought only those chronic diseases medicine ( high blood, cholesterol etc) maybe similar price as polyclinic for those signed up healthier sg at private clinic, I think I had read fr the FAQs that common illness like flu,cough etc is still tagged to market private doc rates as the brand of Medicine may be different , while trying to decide which to sign up for my mum…. But have not come to decision yet for her 😂

                        Your kids, you very lucky then . U din get stomach flu, indigestion , flu before that self medication cannot cure at all?
                        Or when they are young,no viral infections that got high fever for few days that need pediatrics antibiotics? We had a number of times during growing up , cannot self medicate one, must see Pte doc for more effective medicines, I think polyclinic med also no “ power” enough to help us recover fast lei 😞
