How to pack your protest-day medical kit
Dr KS Harshith, internal medicine consultant at Aster RV Hospital, advises carrying a medical kit with basic first aid items, ORS, paracetamol, antihistamines, and prescribed emergency allergy doses for protest-day minor health issues.
People with asthma and diabetes should carry essential medicines, including a glucometer and fast-acting carbohydrates for diabetes, and an N-95 mask and inhaler for asthma, as demonstrated by actor Shabana Azmi who used her inhaler after a tear gas exposure at Jantar Mantar.
Free medical camps at Delhi's Jantar Mantar assist protesters, but individuals with chronic conditions must keep their own medications handy.
