Answer
What should I pack for a Mallorca holiday to avoid health problems?
For Mallorca, it helps to pack your EHIC if you have one, private travel insurance details, any regular medication, and a basic first-aid kit. Sunscreen, a hat, and a reusable water bottle are also sensible in the summer months. If you take prescription medicine, bring enough for the whole trip and keep it in its original packaging.
