Are you planning a vacation with your child? You must carefully prepare for the trip. It should immediately be said that for children under three years of age, any transfers and flights are not desirable. First of all, this is due to the fact that the child’s body is just forming, and any, even the most minor stresses can adversely affect the future health of the baby. Some pediatricians do not recommend traveling with young children who have not yet learned to speak. The child begins to be naughty, something hurts him, but he simply will not physically say about it. If you really want to take out a child, for example, to the sea, then it is better to choose a resort in the territory of your state. If necessary, the issue of insurance, first aid and a simple human relationship will be much easier to solve than if it would be a foreign resort.
Travel decision made
Tickets to a hot country have already been bought, and you just need to pack your things on the road. What should a first-aid kit for a child at sea consist of? When choosing medicines, one should proceed from the principle of collecting a similar first-aid kit. A first-aid kit for a tourist will become a kind of basis for collecting children's medicines. It is worth considering all possible options for using tablets on a trip.
Road
First of all, any journey begins with a flight or moving. If the train serves as a means of transportation, here you can restrict yourself to the main set of medicines. If you have a flight, you need to add to the standard pharmacy kit: funds from motion sickness, candy from stuffy ears on take-off and landing, cotton swabs from the excessive sound of the turbines of the aircraft.
Acclimatization
After landing at the airport, you should think about a sharp change in climate. It should be understood that the characteristic changes associated with acclimatization will begin towards evening. Unfortunately, young children are much more susceptible to temperature changes, so you should give your child an antipyretic in the evening . A great option for such an easy case: candles "Nurofen" for children. This drug is approved for children from birth and is not a strong drug.
Food
The next extreme moment is the beginning of getting used to local water and food. Such preparations as, for example, Mezim-Forte will help here. It will help the baby’s stomach better digest food. Sometimes this is not enough, and as a result, diarrhea can begin, use strengthening agents. Imodium is a great option. In addition, a rash, a kind of allergy, may appear from some products. It is better to use
Suprastin, Tavegil or Fenistil. In the early days, try to protect the child from the peculiarities of local cuisine, especially if it is quite sharp and high-calorie. Take Enterofuril with you - this is an excellent remedy for intestinal infections, first aid to the children's body.
Beach, sun and water
When going to the beach, keep in mind that the sun in the southern resorts is much harsher than in our latitudes. A first-aid kit for a child at sea must contain a large amount of sunscreen. You can take several protection options: 50+, 30+, 30. It is better not to take creams and sprays with a lower level of protection. The baby’s skin is still very tender and can burn easily, so try to limit the child from a long exposure to the sun. With sunburn , Bepanten ointment or Panthenol spray are perfect. They quickly remove the redness and burning sensation on the skin of the child. Another problem on the beach can be a sunstroke. If this happens, in the first-aid kit you need to have Panadol as an antipyretic, Paracetamol. These medicines will help your child survive the effects of sun exposure. If the child is already actively swimming, be sure to take the Otipax ear drops with you. Bring them to your child regularly at night to avoid otitis media. The kid was outbid and caught a cold? Take in the medicine cabinet baby drops for the nose and spray for the throat. A first-aid kit for a child at sea should have all of the medicines listed, otherwise the rest will be ruined.
