Is it possible for astronauts to get sick in space? Astronauts are human beings, too, and they are prone to injury, poisoning, or colds. Anything is possible in space.
In order to prevent illnesses and provide first aid,
all necessary medicines and equipment are aboard - from bandages, ointments, antibiotics to medical equipment ranging from the simplest to special. Also the entire crew is trained in the basics of first aid.
Medical team is always on call, ready to help and advise what medicines to take.
Also, to exclude the appearance of infectious diseases in space, the crew enters observation mode: daily checks, they examine everyone who comes in, i.e. everything is done to prevent bringing infections to the station.
