Fever medication
Many times, the child says that the fever is feverish, one second may be lively and jumpy, the next second listless. We all know that fever is just a symptom, not a cause.
Baby fever, do not only pay attention to the baby's body temperature, but also combine the baby's mental state.
Under normal circumstances, if the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C, you can consider giving the baby some antipyretic medicine;
However, if the baby is in good spirits, you can also continue to observe, but if the baby's body temperature does not reach 38.5 ° C, but the spirit is not good, parents can also use anti-fever drugs for the baby as appropriate.
There are only two components of fever reducers that are currently recognized worldwide as safe and suitable for children: acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
That is, the tenorin and Merrill Lynch that are common in our market.
Before use, we must pay attention to: different dosage forms of fever drugs, the dosage is different.
And you need to determine the dosage according to the baby's weight, it is not clear how to use, you can look at the following two tables:

Nasal congestion medication
Compared with adults, the baby's nasal cavity is small and the airway resistance is high, so it is easy to get nasal congestion when you have a cold.
At this time, the common treatment is to use normal saline to clean the nasal cavity.
It should be noted that babies of different ages also have great differences in the choice of nasal washing:
★Babies under 1 year of age are recommended to wash their nose with saline drops. If the nasal discharge still cannot flow out on its own after using normal saline, you can use a nasal suction device in conjunction with it.
★Babies aged 1-3 years are recommended to spray nasal fluids with saline or sea saline.
In addition, there are also a variety of nasal suction devices on the market, and parents choose to use them for their babies.

Skin medication
Baby's skin problems can be said to be the most headache problem for every mother, especially in the dry winter, eczema, red farts and other annoying problems are all looking for the door.
There are a variety of skin care products on the market, and mothers should not buy them indiscriminately.
Here are a few more effective skin medications:
1. Calamine lotion
Calamine lotion ingredients are safe and non-irritating, antipruritic effect is good, suitable for prickly heat, urticaria, mosquito bites and other skin problems.
Note that if the skin is broken, do not use it.
2. Zinc oxide ointment
Mainly used for diaper rash.
Infants and young children are more likely to develop diaper rash, and when used, they need to wait for the butt to dry completely before applying zinc oxide ointment.
3. Hydrocortisone butyrate
If your baby develops eczema or urticaria, you can follow your doctor's advice with topical hormone ointments, such as hydrocortisone butyrate to relieve itching.
It should be noted that this type of drug should be used in accordance with the doctor's instructions for enough treatment, and do not stop the drug when you see that the skin is better.
4. Mopirocin ointment
Mopirocin ointment belongs to the combination of ointment, the composition is non-toxic, the irritation is small, and the baby can use it when there is a skin bacterial infection such as pus.

Allergic medications
If there are allergic babies at home, it is inevitable that there will be symptoms such as allergies, and parents can usually prepare some allergy drugs.
However, the director suggested that if the baby has allergies for the first time, it is best to seek medical treatment first and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Gastrointestinal medication
1. Diarrhea, vomiting Baby vomiting, diarrhea, many parents' first reaction is to stop diarrhea, antiemetic.
In fact, vomiting, diarrhea, are self-healing diseases, parents do not blindly use antidiarrheal drugs for the baby, so it is easy to cover up the real cause, self-defeating.
In this case, the first thing parents should do is to prevent the baby from dehydration!
Because diarrhea and vomiting will take away a lot of water and electrolytes from the baby's body, if not replenished in time, it is easy to cause dehydration, and serious life-threatening.
For the prevention of dehydration, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of hypotonic oral rehydration salt III.
2. Constipation After being a mother, the baby's has also become the focus of daily attention, if you encounter the baby's constipation, don't mention how bad it is.
There is always a kaiser in the home, and emergencies can be made at critical moments.
The main ingredient of kaiserin is glycerol/mannitol, a laxative that promotes stool excretion.
If you find it more troublesome to insert the open plug into the anus, you can selectively take "lactulose".
【How to use】Oral. Dosage of 1 ml / kg body weight, once a day, if there is no improvement in the use of medication for 2 days, you can increase 1-2 ml every 2 days until you can drain 1-2 times a day soft stools, the maximum amount does not exceed 30 ml per day, and stop using it when diarrhea occurs.
But the director still has to say that drugs are not the best way to relieve constipation, and if you want to alleviate the problem of constipation in babies, the most important thing is to start from living habits, such as supplementing foods rich in dietary fiber, exercising more, and developing good habits of regular defecation, even if you have the intention of defecation, do not endure.

Other medical supplies
Babies are full of curious babies, once in a new environment, they like to jump, climb up and down, it is inevitable that there will be bumps, so it is still necessary to prepare the following medical supplies.
These drugs are all over-the-counter drugs that can be purchased in pharmacies, but there are a few points that the Director general will repeatedly emphasize:
Before using these drugs, you must learn to judge the severity of your baby's condition, and if you can't judge yourself, it is still recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
At the same time, we must also pay attention to the correct storage and use of drugs!
