Do I need to bring regular medicines when traveling?

Commonly used drugs must be brought. (depending on your own situation)

First, drugs for external use

1, antibiotic ointment for external use

Such as mupirocin ointment or erythromycin ointment, when the child has a slight abrasion, a thin layer of antibiotic ointment can be applied to the wound first.

2. Band-aid

If the skin wound bleeds, you can stick a band-aid to stop the bleeding.

3. menthol ointment

If you are in a hot place, you can deal with mosquito bites and relieve itching and other discomfort.

Second, antipyretics

Febrile drugs are essential for travel. No matter what causes the fever, once the child's body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is necessary to give the child oral antipyretic drugs. Such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. For children under 5 years old, it is particularly important to reduce fever in time, because they are prone to febrile convulsions when they have a fever. At the same time, we should actively replenish water for our children and drink boiled water. If children don't like boiled water, it doesn't hurt to drink some juice.

Third, gastrointestinal medication.

Children's gastrointestinal function is weak, and eating in strange places is more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases than adults. Therefore, taking some digestive drugs, such as lactic acid bacteria, can help children overcome problems such as indigestion and food accumulation.

Be careful not to abuse antidiarrheal drugs: Many parents are used to applying antidiarrheal drugs to their children when they have diarrhea, such as montmorillonite powder. Although montmorillonite powder has many advantages, the cause of diarrhea has guiding significance for medication, and it can not be used in all cases. When severe diarrhea occurs, parents should take their children to hospital as soon as possible.

Fourth, anti-allergic drugs.

After traveling for a long time, some children may be allergic to pollen or certain foods, so prepare some anti-allergic drugs. When a child has allergic symptoms such as multiple skin pimples with itching, he can immediately take antiallergic drugs to relieve allergic symptoms.
