Problems After Arriving Home

Symptoms or problems that developed during travel and that have not subsided by the time a person has returned home warrant medical attention. Some symptoms may develop weeks or months after a person has returned; fever after international travel is especially common. Although the connection between travel and new symptoms often is not apparent, information about recent travel can be the key element in making a diagnosis.

People with medical conditions should refill prescription drugs immediately if the drugs were lost or used up while away from home.
