Recently, the epidemic is tense again!
Many people are locked up at home and can't go out, plus it's almost the end of the year, and the most feared thing at this time is that the baby is sick! Go to the hospital for fear of infection, and medical resources are tight, wait for half a day afraid that even the number can not be hung up, so if it is a common cold, fever and the like, I recommend that you prepare these medicines at home in advance.
Diarrhea constipation
Oral rehydration salts
Children's diarrhea is most afraid of dehydration and electrolyte disorders, oral rehydration salts can effectively prevent dehydration and electrolyte disorders. Oral rehydration salts can be given to children from the beginning of diarrhea and are suitable for children of all ages, and the dosage (mL) = body weight (KG) * (50 to 70).
Montmorillonite scattered
In addition to oral rehydration salts, you can also keep some montmorillonite powder at home. The main ingredient of montmorillonite is montmorillonite, which is extracted from natural montmorillonite, mainly used in adults and children's acute and chronic diarrhea, is a grayish white or slightly yellowish fine powder, the taste is sweet. Suitable for people aged two years and older, take one bag at a time, on an empty stomach, and cannot be mixed with other drugs.
Oral solution of lactulose
There is also an oral solution of lactulose, which is a sweet and viscous liquid with the main ingredient being lactulose. Lactulose oral solution is mainly used to regulate constipation, it can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, soften feces, suitable for children of all ages.
Kaiseru
The active ingredient of Kaiserin is glycerol, which is a stimulating laxative and administered through insertion. Short-term use is relatively safe, and long-term use is likely to make your baby dependent on it. So you can use it occasionally, not for a long time!
Antipyretic and analgesic class
ibuprofen
Ibuprofen is mainly used to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, and muscle pain in adults, and is also suitable for fever symptoms caused by ordinary or influenza. If given to children, choose ibuprofen suspension drops designed for children. The common Enric and Merrill Lynch on the market are antipyretic drugs containing ibuprofen, which are suitable for children over 6 months.
paracetamol
There is also an over-the-counter drug for fever caused by the common cold and for relieving mild to moderate pain - acetaminophen. Regular acetaminophen extended-release tablets are intended for children over 12 years of age and adults. If taken by children over three months of age, a paracetamol suspension or tenoline drops can be selected.
Relieves nasal congestion
Normal saline, sea saline spray nasal agent
Normal saline and sea saline sprays are used to relieve nasal congestion, unlike babies under 6 months of age who can use saline, while sea saline sprays are more suitable for babies over 6 months. They act similarly, softening the nasal discharge and snot in the nasal cavity for easy removal.
Topical medication
Calamine lotion
In the hot summer, mosquito bites, long prickly heat and other conditions are more common. Calamine lotion, commonly known as "prickly heat water", can be chosen to cope. Calamine lotion is a reddish suspension that will precipitate if it is left for too long, so it needs to be shaken before use.
In addition, calamine lotion is suitable for intact skin, if the skin is broken or exudate, it should be used with caution, and should avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose and other parts of the use. Because of the addition of menthol, it is not recommended for babies under 2 years of age.
Zinc oxide ointment
If there is a small baby at home, it is recommended to prepare some zinc oxide ointment, zinc oxide ointment is suitable for babies of all ages, moisturizing and protecting the baby's skin. It can be used to treat your baby's red butt, diaper rash, etc.
Commonly used tools
Thermometers (mercury thermometers are not recommended, others are available), sterile gauze, band-aids, cotton swabs, iodine wine, alcohol, etc.
Well, having said all that can be used at home, how do we store them?
The medicine cabinet is locked or placed on a high place to prevent the baby from accidentally eating;
Store in an opaque box in case certain agents fail;
Try to choose a place with constant temperature and humidity;
Regular inspections, timely cleaning of expired drugs;
The desiccant, cotton, etc. in the bottle are thrown away immediately after opening the bottle to avoid moisture returning to contaminate the agent.
