Home Pharmacy Guide
While it is our belief that every symptom does not require medicine, there are certain things that you should have available at home. A well-stocked home pharmacy should include the following:
- Liquid Tylenol or other acetaminophen preparation
- Acetaminophen rectal suppositories (for when your child is vomiting and has a fever)
- Liquid Motrin or other ibuprofen preparation
- Digital rectal thermometer
- A&D ointment, Balmex or Desitin
- Pedialyte or other oral rehydration solution
- Sunscreen (PABA-free and SPF#20 or higher)
- Band-Aids
- Cool mist vaporizer or humidifier
- Over-the-counter antibiotic ointment
- Over-the-counter hydrocortisone ointment
- Baby moisturizer
