Our life is full of curiosities. For example, in 1963, he was born Australian Stephen Little (Stephen Little). Zakovyrka is that the baby is born is not an example of his name, that is not small. His weight was 7.4 kg. And these amazing cases of childbirth is known set. But no matter how strong it may seem "hero", he, like all the other kids, have to cheer in the first years of his life. In this article, the parents learn what drugs should be reserved for future use, to quickly help your child if you feel unwell.

"Why become a dad?" This question has repeatedly sounded in the comments to the article on Layfhakera reproductive aging men. This debate could go on for a long time, but only until the moment when a man knows himself to fatherhood joy. After which questions will disappear by themselves.

It is impossible to describe the feeling of pride, joy and emotion when you are in your child the character traits, habits, start get dirty with him at dinner, vandalize and make discoveries, feel strong sincere hug after returning from work and see its strong satiated sleep.

Fatherhood - an ongoing source of inspiration, energy and experience, sometimes unpleasant anxiety. And the main reason for the heavy feeling, of course, is a painful condition of the child. How to help your child? One love and affection will not get off - you need to look in the medicine cabinet. And those drugs that are desirable to have on hand at the typical children's sores.

Attention! Before you give your son or daughter of any medicine, read the instructions. Note the recommendations for use, contraindications, and dosage. A better contact your pediatrician for advice.

Teething

Most adults have forgotten those indescribable sensations that accompany the teething. However, a small part of you (including the author) still suffers from spring and autumn exacerbation of wisdom teeth growth. No bit of enjoyable! Multiply this nagging pain on novelty and number of foci of inflammation. Will absolutely terrible picture, and that is going through your child.

Symptoms of pain simple. Kid pulls toys in his mouth, he increased salivation, and sometimes more, and temperature. Look chubby little boy in the mouth. teething places perform at the gums are swollen. That's it and you need to handle a cooling gel. We used "Bobodent," although there are other popular tools, such as "Kalgel" or "Dentinox".

Temperature increase

Mercury thermometer climbed slightly above 37 ºC? It is not necessary to panic and rush to antipyretics. Yes, the body baby struggling with a problem, but to shoot down the temperature is still not worth it. Usually, doctors recommend to operate at 38 ºC or more.

In this case he acted "Ibufen" as a magic wand - anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drugs. It includes an active ibuprofen ingredient - the drug groups narcotic analgesics.

Another popular solution, "Efferalgan" contains paracetamol - the active ingredient that acts on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus.

Both ibuprofen and paracetamol are well studied medicine, their effectiveness is clinically proven to therefore they are included in the list of essential medicines of the World Organization Health.

But it is important to understand that the use of antipyretic - it's just a way to alleviate the disease. What is disease? This question will answer the doctor after examining the child. He will appoint further treatment, if such a need is identified.

And a little about the process of reception. Antipyretics presented as a syrup or in the form of rectal suppository. Recent come in handy if your child is still quite small and does not want anything to ingest. Older children put candles for nausea and vomiting. And remember: when dealing with candles, it is important to demonstrate the speed, agility and a little cunning. :)

Sore throat and stuffy nose

Life is a mission impossible. One of them - get to admire the snow child breathe through the nose. In an atmosphere of euphoria and the constant movement of the baby ingests still frosty breath. The consequences we are all heard.

Sometimes when a sore throat doctors prescribe "Ingalipt". But this medicinal product has a lot of criticism because it contained in the sulfonamides, the use of which is banned in many countries due to the severity of side effects. Either this nuance does not know everything, or simply close their eyes to him.

Therefore, you should pay attention to the "Orasept". Phenol contained in it has antimicrobial and antifungal action, and glycerine softens the mucosa of the mouth and prevents the development of irritation.

With clogged nose, everything is much easier. A little brute force to fix the head and a couple of drops of the solution into the nostrils - the trick is done! You can trust "Vibrotsilu" or "Otrivin".

Stomatitis

Curiosity kids knows no bounds. They are endeavoring to learn the most about the world around them, including old-fashioned way - on taste! And no matter how you hid their boots for fishing, flower pots and a dirty toy from the sandbox, the child still gets to their language. And it may happen that the natural science lesson with a new experience and bring the intruder - a stomatitis.

In fact, failure to comply with hygiene - is not the only reason for the defeat of the oral mucosa. By stomatitis can cause mechanical damage as banal brush gums and problems with the gastrointestinal tract. And each type requires its own treatment of stomatitis, so it is important to see a doctor and to identify the original source of the disease. In the meantime, you are going to inspect, can weaken the pain by using various concoctions based on medicinal herbs to treat ulcers or special gels. For example, "Kamistad" eliminates discomfort in the oral cavity and reduces pain. Do not forget to stock up on a cotton swab to avoid having to handle the wound with your fingers.

Digestive problems

In the first months of life immature digestive system of the child tormented bloating, and abdominal cramps. Before turning to the special syrups, try the recipe grandfather - a decoction of fennel seeds. We did not help, so I had to stomp to the pharmacy for "Espumizanom". Just a few drops of the drug were given excellent results. The child stopped to wake up at night, and he lost flatulence.

Start feeding - the time of trial and error. Payback for the wrong action is diarrhea in the child's neurosis and his mom and dad. And sometimes "breaks" do not go for a few days. During this time the baby's body is disturbed acid-base balance, which helps to restore "Regidron".

Often, dehydration is accompanied by leaching of the intestinal microflora. Her normalization can take place for a long time, and in this case, better stock up on drugs, which contain live microorganisms. Probably you yourself take "Linex" after a course of antibiotics. In addition to this popular tool you can advise "Latsidofil" and "Enterozherminu". Couple of comments: these drugs require a valid short storage and cost quite a lot.

burns

Kids love to turn into monkeys and repeat for seniors. They really want an adult to drink tea, pet shirt or a glimpse into the oven. In this alien kids a sense of fear, they care about the basics of safety. Of course, parental power delay the onset of an accident, but it is still going to happen sooner or later. And it is important to react with lightning speed and treat the affected skin spray "Panthenol" section. Means shown in violation of skin integrity, including in thermal burns. It has a calming and healing effect, as confirmed by my own experience. :) As an analogy, we can offer a "Bepanten".

conclusion

So summarize. Baby kit is compulsorily contain any febrifuge and remedy for burns. We hope that this mandatory minimum you will not be useful, but that it will give confidence that your child will not suffer, while one of the parents run to the pharmacy.

Cooling ointments, nasal drops and remedies for abdominal pain are not critical, but the probability of their use is very high, so they can be purchased in advance.

But probiotics and drugs to treat diseases of the nasopharynx and upper respiratory tract can wait for special instructions from the pediatrician.

Of course, in the course of this article, we have missed something. For example, brilliant green, iodine, natural anti-anxiety drugs and for the prevention of viral diseases. The latter are essential if the child attends a Christmas tree with a mass of other children, moved to the public transport often or staying with relatives. In such circumstances, the better to prevent unwanted effects and pre-drink "Anaferon" or "Aflubin". We have not mentioned and sanitary napkins, starch, which helps a lot with diaper rash, and, of course, the thermometer. Do not forget about them!
