Your own personal medication - always ensure that if you have any personal medical problems, that you include medication for this, especially if you are prone to allergic reactions to things such as bees, peanuts, etc...or if you have diabetes and require a boost should your blood sugar levels fall. Carrying along medicines that help you cope with any asthmatic attacks or throat problems is highly recommended.
Regular first aid kit components - Aside from the medicinal and drug related items of a travel first aid kit, you should also include things like adhesive take, sterile gauze pads, antiseptic (even a small bottle of liquid soap, so that you can clean your hands or wounds), bandages/band aids of various sizes, examination gloves, safety pins, scissors, tweezers (in the instance that you would have to remove anything, such as a bee stinger).
Extra care and caution - Part of having a travel first aid kit, is being prepared should any sort of emergency come your way.
Make sure that the mobile is charged and items like flashlights, lighters are taken along.
