Hi guys , very first posting so hope i do it O.K.
Going to Thailand for the first time in a bout 6 weeks.
I am allergic to all nuts eg (Peanuts, almonds ,cashews) but not coconut.
I go into anaphlatic shock and can die from this reaction if not treated quickly.
I need to carry with me siringes, a medication called 'Adrenaline' ampoules,to keep my heart going, and 'Phenergan' an antihistamine tablet to bring down the swelling.I have a letter from my doctor as well .
Does anyone know if these medications are legal to bring into the country? we are going to be flying into Bangkok and then going onto Phuket for a family holiday.Am I better to pack them in my suitcase or have them in my hand luggage? Cant seem to find information anywhere ,hope someone can help..
P.S I love thai food, peanut etc and (peanut oil free)
regards Honlou::
