you don’t realize you need ibuprofen until it’s too late!! i personally have a little travel pack with a mix of the basics for emergencies, plus i always have a couple dayquil/tylenol packs in secret pockets of backpacks and purses i use often
i use a couple to keep tylenol and what not in my work bag/errand bag/other errand bag (for when i wanna switch things up look wise) so i have some on hand and i don’t need to keep buying those little travel bottles because i can just refill them at home (when i remember to)
as a lifelong allergy/sinus pain and migraine sufferer i always have to have ibuprofen, excedrin, ubrelvy, zofran, antihistamines, eye drops and anxiolytics on me!! also keep band-aids, tampons and narcan with all the pills juuust in case
I carry around a little grandma-style pill case filled with supplements, Advil, excedrin, Tums, etc everywhere I go and honestly being out and suddenly getting a headache or another ailment and being able to solve it then and there is such a gift to myself and others. Someone says “ouch my tummy hurts” and you hand them a tum and you become their little nurse and everyone is happy.
