Just found this sub so thought I’d add my own travel tip.
I got tonsillitis while in Japan in 2023 and I found it very hard to find painkillers that didn’t have caffeine in them. I bought what I thought was some standard paracetamol and was trying to figure out why I was so freaking anxious, after about a day of using these things I google translated the ingredients on the package and realised it contained caffine.
I went to a handful of drugstores, all with a huge variety or pain killers but all of them seemed to have caffeine in them. I did find some eventually with the help of a kind pharmacist, but next time I will just pack my own and save myself the trouble!
