Staying safe while travelling with little ones

Dr Nur Elayni recommends packing safe snacks in case there are no restaurants for a child with a serious allergy.

Travelling with children, especially those below five years old, can be challenging.

Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC) Accident and Emergency Department head Dr Lee Soon Han said the most common travel-related injuries or illnesses among children were motor vehicle accidents; falls leading to cuts, bruises or open wounds; and febrile (showing symptoms of fever) or respiratory illness due to viruses.
