Besides having common medicines like paracetamol, tablets for diarrhoea, nausea and others, you should also carry your prescribed medicines too. It may happen that, you may not be allowed to carry some typical medications on flight, in your handbag. But if you produce a prescription by the doctor, when checking-in, you will be allowed to carry the medicines with you. Like a pressure tablet, or ORS and so on. So, make sure that you carry the common medicines with you, along with the prescribed medicines.
