The previous answer did not address transportation.
If you travel to receive medical care, you can deduct your actual car, bus or plane fare. If you drive your own car, you can deduct your actual cost for fuel, or you can deduct 17 cents per mile (for 2019), but not both. You can also deduct tolls and parking fees.
Also as regards to lodging, you can deduct your actual lodging cost up to $50 per night as said, but you can also deduct lodging cost for one additional person, if a caregiver accompanied you on the trip. (Normally this would be a parent taking a child for care, but it can also apply you brought a companion or caregiver with you.)
While it is generally true that to receive a tax benefit from listing all your expenses, you must have itemized expenses that total more than your standard deduction, most people have at least some other itemized deductions, even if they don't normally list them. Other itemized deductions include property taxes, mortgage interest, state and local income or sales tax, and gifts to charity. For example, if you pay $2000 in state tax and make a $500 gift to charity, you would normally use the standard deduction. But if you itemize because of your medical expenses, these other itemized deductions help get your total deductions to be more than the standard deduction.
