First aid kit for traveling with a child

First of all, put those medicines that you or your family take constantly for any disease, so that you always have a supply, even if the disease itself is not exacerbated.

Remedies for fever and pain

In order not to give antipyretics in vain, not to trust intuition, be sure to put a thermometer, which should be in a special case. It is necessary to stock up on antipyretics, as the temperature can rise at any time and for any reason. Antipyretics also have an analgesic effect, so they can be considered in one group. What drugs to choose? First of all, in pediatric practice, drugs are recommended for use. paracetamol drops Tylenol, syrups - Kalpol, Panadol, Aqua-Teva, Efferalgan, Cefekon D and others, also the same remedy in the form of tablets and suppositories (suppositories). Paracetamol can be used in children from 3 months life. At the age of 3 months to 1 year, the drug is prescribed in a single dose of 24-120 mg; from 1 to 6 years - 120-240 mg; from 6 to 12 years - 240-360 mg. This should be borne in mind when only adult tablets are on hand, usually containing 500 mg of active ingredient. In second place in terms of frequency of use can be put ibuprofen, also known as Nurofen. Children are allowed to use it from 6 months. You can also use homeopathic suppositories Viburkol, their use is allowed from birth.

Be sure to put in the first aid kit No-shpu. This is an antispasmodic drug and should be used in combination with antipyretics if the temperature rise is accompanied by a spasm of the vessels of the extremities (in this case, the child will have cold extremities and high body temperature). For children over 2 years old you can also use drugs that combine the action of antipyretic and antispasmodic drugs, - Baralgin, Maxigan, Spazgan, Pentalgin, Tempalgin, and children over 6 years old- Spazmalgon . Children 2-6 years old should be given 1/4 tablet, over 6 years old - 1/2. The same drugs can be used for toothache and headache, for trauma - for pain relief.

But even if the temperature drops after the use of antipyretics, the child must be shown to the doctor.

For injuries

Babies are often injured. They are of various origins: bruises, wounds, scratches, abrasions, burns, etc.

With bruises and bruises (bruises), gels will help you Troxevasin or Venoruton (apply 2 times a day), ointments Hepatrombin (apply 1-3 times a day) Heparoid Lechiva (apply 2-3 times a day) or Heparin ointment (apply 2-3 times a day). Apply one of these products to the bruised area, gently rub in circular motions. Swelling and soreness of the damaged area will quickly decrease. These drugs must be used for several days until the swelling of the tissue passes.

For cuts, abrasions and scratches, use 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for the initial treatment of a contaminated wound, stop bleeding from a wound or nosebleed. If there is no hydrogen peroxide, then you can treat the wound with water, in which you need to dissolve the tablet furatsilina, or a weak solution potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). The edges of the scratch or cut can then be finished 3 % alcohol solution of iodine or lubricate the edges of the wound brilliant green solution. In the first-aid kit it is convenient to have special lakers, containing iodine or brilliant green (they look like felt-tip pens). On top of a scratch or abrasion can be glued bactericidal plaster. A deeper wound should be bandaged with sterile wipes, bandage or dressing package, fastening on top tubular bandage.

In addition, in case of injuries you will need: cotton wool (it is more convenient if it is already in the form of sterile cotton balls), cotton buds, bandages different sizes and elastic bandage, patches . Just in case put hemostatic tourniquet .

Useful for injuries scissors for opening packages, cutting bandages, etc. - you can take small or medium size, they should be sharp.

Another type of injury is burns . The affected area should be cooled as soon as possible by placing in cold water or running cold water for at least 10 minutes. In no case do not smear burns with oil solutions or ointments, as the fatty film prevents the affected area from cooling down, keeping warm. Use sprays: Panthenol, Olazol, "Rescuer". Special ointment for burns Dermazin has an antimicrobial effect, and also contributes to the preservation of fluid at the site of the lesion, which is actively lost at the site of the burn. Silvederm (analogue Dermazina), Acerbin - solution with a spray - have antimicrobial and wound-healing effect. For severe pain, one of the pain relievers mentioned above can also be given. After providing first aid, be sure to show the injured doctor. Can be used for sunburn Panthenol, "Rescuer" or special cosmetic creams. But to avoid sunburn, be sure to use sunscreen before going out in the sun: there are special creams for children. Some of them also combine mosquito repellent, which is very convenient. After sunbathing, use moisturizer or milk.

Medicines for motion sickness

If your child is motion sick in transport (the so-called "seasickness"), then 30 minutes before the trip or flight, give him a remedy for motion sickness - Dramina, homeopathic remedy "Avia-sea" or Kokkulin . The use of all these funds is allowed for children from 1 year. On the road, you also need to stock up on packages in case of vomiting, candy caramels and drinking water with napkins.

Help the intestines and stomach

With a change in climate, on the road, a change in the nature of the water, you may be overtaken by trouble with the intestines - diarrhea or stool disorders. In what cases and what will help? Ercefuril - an antimicrobial agent that destroys the microbial cell wall, reduces the production of toxins, activates the immune system - this drug can be used for babies already from 2nd month life. With flatulence (bloating), you can apply smectu , it has an adsorbing and antidiarrheal effect - it precipitates and removes toxins from intestinal infections, eliminates loose stools. Smecta can be given to children from birth: up to 1 year - 1 sachet per day; from 1 to 2 years - 1-2 sachets per day; older than 2 years - 2-3 sachets per day. The contents of the sachet are dissolved in a 50 ml baby bottle (used throughout the day) or can be mixed thoroughly with semi-liquid food.

can be accepted Activated carbon - it can also be given from birth, as it has different forms of release: tablets, capsules, powder packets, paste.

Take enzymes with you - Mezim forte, Creon, Enzistal, Festal, Abomin , their main action is the breakdown of proteins, fats and starch. These drugs are given 2-3 days after the first symptoms of poisoning appear, especially if the baby has no appetite. They are also used as replacement therapy, that is, they help the baby's digestion when expanding the diet.

If diarrhea or vomiting was profuse, then it is necessary to restore the amount of fluid lost. To do this, you need to take salt preparations with you: Regidron, Trisol, Enterodes, Gastrolit, which will help restore the volume of lost fluid, including during heat stroke (overheating in the sun). It is more convenient to use those products that are available in powder form (Regidron, Gastrolit ), as in this form they are more convenient to store and their shelf life is longer.

At the same time, it is necessary to use means that can absorb (sorb) toxins from the intestines, - Smektu And Activated carbon . Just note that sorbents must be taken one hour before or one hour after eating or taking any medication so that absorption does not occur.

Then you need to restore the intestinal microflora using linex, Hilak-forte . These drugs contain components of the normal intestinal microflora, contributing to its normalization.

Successfully combines a sorbent and a preparation for restoring the microbial flora Pobifor due to the fact that it contains activated carbon and bifidumbacterin. Can be given to babies from 1 year: children 1-3 years old - 1 sachet 2 times a day, 3-7 years old - 1 sachet 3 times a day. Course - 3-5 days from the first day of intestinal poisoning. The medicine is given simultaneously with liquid food, preferably fermented milk, or with 30-50 ml of boiled water at room temperature, or with mother's milk. If necessary, the drug is taken regardless of the meal.

In reverse situations, that is, when constipation occurs, it is good to have pear for setting a cleansing enema. Help also candles with glycerin, for children over 2 years old you can use candles or dragees Bisacodyla.

Remedies for the common cold

Despite the hot summer, no one is immune from colds, in particular from the common cold. It will be a shame to spend even part of the holiday with a clogged nose. Therefore, take with you means for washing the nasal cavity: aqua maris, Salin (non-carbonated mineral water can replace them), which can be instilled into the nose of children up to 1 year in the form of drops older than 1 year- in the form of nasal sprays. To soften and remove contaminant accumulations and nasal secretions, these agents are sprayed or instilled into each nasal passage for as long as the situation requires, eliminating the resulting excess fluid with cotton wool or a handkerchief. The procedure can be repeated many times until the accumulation of contaminants is successfully softened and removed. With nasal congestion, remedies such as xylene, For the nose, Otrivin (xylometazoline 0.5% solution - from birth), Nazivin, Nazol (oxymetazoline 0.01% solution - from birth, 0.025% - after 1 year and 0.05% - after 3 years), Naphthyzin, Tizin, Sanorin (nafazolin 0.05% solution - after 1 year) can be used for 5-7 days up to 3-4 times a day. It should be borne in mind that these drops only improve the baby's well-being, but do not affect the cause of the disease in any way, their intake should be minimized. With prolonged use, it is possible to develop dryness of the nasal mucosa or, conversely, hypersecretion. These drugs are vasoconstrictive, therefore, after instillation, nasal congestion is removed, but a pronounced watery discharge appears, which must be blown off. Then dry the mucosa to reduce re-swelling and prevent the growth of bacteria in the inflammatory nasal discharge, using Protargol (silver proteinate) or Vibrocilom. If necessary, that is, when the runny nose has become purulent (green) discharge, drip anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents: Polydex, Isofra.

In cases where you live in an area with a dry climate, increased dustiness, and you have a runny nose or you feel increased dryness in your nose, it is better to use oil-based drops - Pinosol, but this drug can be used in children older than 1 year.

So that the eyes do not hurt ...

A stuffy nose is often accompanied by a violation of the patency of the nasolacrimal canal, which leads to stagnation of tears and the occurrence of conjunctivitis. Also, conjunctivitis can occur for any other reason (infection with dirty hands, foreign particles, contact with an infection). What to do? Do you already have pills in your medicine cabinet? Furacilina. Dissolve 1 tablet in a glass of water, soak a cotton swab in the solution and rinse the eye with smooth movements from the outer corner to the inner. Change the swab after each wash. Then drip Sulfacyl sodium (Albucid) (antimicrobial, antibacterial and bacteriostatic agent), Sofradex (antibacterial, antiallergic, antipruritic and anti-inflammatory drugs) or lay an antibacterial eye ointment behind the lower eyelid - Erythromycin.

Ear pain remedies

At the most inopportune moment, your child may complain of ear pain. You can provide first aid by putting a cotton swab or turunda (rolled gauze napkin) soaked in Otipax , Sofradex or Polydex , which have an anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect. Please note that you do not need to dig anything into the ear canal itself, soak cotton swabs or turundas with the drug. Direct instillation of ear drops is dangerous, because at home it is impossible to examine the ear the way an ENT doctor does, and to clarify the nature of the inflammation at the moment - is the eardrum damaged or not. If drops fall into the middle ear cavity when the eardrum ruptures, they can cause damage to the auditory ossicles or lead to damage to the auditory nerve, resulting in hearing loss. Instead, you need to make a turunda out of dry cotton, gently insert it into the external auditory canal and drip warm medicine on it 3-4 times a day. A portion of the drops should be heated to a temperature of 360C. You can, for example, heat a pipette in warm water, and then draw medicine into it, or first draw up the drug, and then heat the pipette with it in warm water.

Cough remedies

If the cough is dry, you need to make it wet, for this, mucolytic (sputum thinning) agents are used - Acetylcysteine, ACC. And with a wet cough, it is necessary to facilitate the removal of sputum. For this it may be suitable Ascoril, which includes bronchodilator (eliminates bronchospasm) and mucolytic (thinning sputum and facilitating its removal from the bronchi). Also improve the excretion of sputum drugs such as Ambrobene, Halixol, Lazolvan, Tusuprex, Bromhexine.

Allergy Remedies

Even if you are not prone to allergic reactions, take antihistamines with you in the first aid kit: Suprastin, Tavegil, Fenkarol, Diazolin , Diphenhydramine tablets and/or solution or gel Fenistil. These remedies can be useful for acute allergic reactions, for example, those that occur with insect bites, plant burns.

If mosquitoes bite...

The scourge of summer in almost any place of rest is insects (mosquitoes, horseflies, gadflies, midges, bees). So that your vacation is not spoiled by these winged creatures, put various insect repellents in your first aid kit - repellents. For exposed parts of the body - creams, balms, lotions, ointments and sprays.

But what about walks in the forest, fishing? Ticks ... Epidemiologists begin to warn about them in early spring. They are able to carry the tick-borne encephalitis virus. How to protect yourself from them? There are also repellents against ticks. So don't forget to put a tick repellent in your first aid kit.

What to do if mosquitoes managed to bite and leave itchy marks? There are remedies that soothe itching: balms that have menthol oil in their composition. Or you can use alcoholic solution of boric acid (it is sold in pharmacies), which soothes the skin at the site of the bite. There are alcohol solutions of boric acid in combination with novocaine, that is, in addition to the calming effect, they also have an analgesic effect.

Antibiotics

It is difficult to predict which antibiotic may be needed. Therefore, it is better to take a broad-spectrum antibiotic - Amoxiclav, Augmentin, Erythromycin, Suprax, Rulid Summed, Macropen in pediatric dosage. Such a need may arise with the appearance of a sore throat, purulent otitis media, abscesses (furuncles), especially on the face, with burns. And if it is not possible to immediately show the child to the doctor, then the antibiotic can be given independently.

What else do you need to know?

What drugs should not be given to children:

· Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid . This drug can cause increased bleeding if used at high temperature, as well as an exacerbation of peptic ulcer; the drug is contraindicated for children under 12 years of age, and according to some sources - up to 15 years.

· Analgin. Despite the fact that this is the most common antipyretic and analgesic drug, it should also not be given to children, as it can cause a violation of blood formation. In addition, after the use of analgin can cause hypothermia, that is, a decrease in body temperature below normal, and a prolonged decrease in blood pressure, as a result of which the baby may lose consciousness.

· Candles cefekon H. The composition of these suppositories (candles) includes salicylate , that is, acetylsalicylic acid, which was mentioned above.

In addition…

Not prevent baby cream, which softens delicate baby skin, heals, soothes redness, and also protects face and body areas prone to climatic aggressions: wind, cold, protects against overdrying, forming a thin protective film. Talc, zinc ointment or having zinc oxide in its composition will help with the occurrence of diaper rash and chafing, which can appear with excessive sweating.

I also want to remind you of ammonia (ammonia solution), which, if necessary (stuffiness, pre-fainting or fainting), will help to bring to life.

There are always a lot of impressions and emotions on the road and on vacation, which can lead to overexcitation of both children and adults. Therefore, the presence of sedatives in the first-aid kit will not be superfluous at all. What to take? Alcohol solutions motherwort, valerian . And Valocordin , Corvalol: children are prescribed at the rate of 1 drop of an alcohol solution per year of life. Alcohol solutions of these drugs not only can have a sedative effect on the central nervous system, but also soothe itchy skin. That is, these drugs can also be used externally for insect bites.

Do not forget also such necessary trifles as rubber gloves, fingertips, pipettes, tweezers, vent tube, medical pears - for a cleansing enema and for suction of discharge from a cold. In the first aid kit, you can also put wet wipes , and hand washing without water - They are also sold in pharmacies. Medical alcohol is also suitable as such a remedy, but it dries the skin.

Everyone has a flashlight on the trip, it can also come in handy in the first aid kit - look at the neck, look into the nasal cavity or ear canal.

When everything is prepared and checked, you can safely go on vacation, having a collected first-aid kit as a guarantee.

Parents often get excited when planning a vacation with their children, especially if this is the first experience. To protect yourself from unnecessary worries and unforeseen surprises, you should seriously approach the issue of collecting a first-aid kit for a trip and make a detailed list.

Do not underestimate the importance of purchasing medicines for the first-aid kit for the future. Children are not immune from falls and injuries out of the blue, and an immature immune system is not able to cope with new viruses and infections on vacation.

Universal first aid kit for traveling with a child

When planning a vacation at sea or a trip abroad, you should carefully choose the necessary medicines, based on the age and chronic diseases of each tourist.

It is better to coordinate the list of necessary medicines with the family doctor. If this is not possible, then a first-aid kit for rest can be assembled based on the following recommendations:

Unfortunately, at sea it is quite difficult to create the necessary conditions for children to protect them from the harmful effects of sunlight. They can't sit in the shade for long when the sun is at its most dangerous, and even the most effective sunscreens can't protect baby's delicate skin.

If a burn is received, then treatment should be started immediately. List of the best remedies for treating sunburn:

Panthenol

Unfamiliar food and accidentally swallowed water in the pool can lead to digestive disorders. Many doctors recommend starting taking sorbents immediately before arriving on vacation and getting them before the end of the trip. This is especially true for children.

A children's first aid kit at sea must certainly include sorbents that can remove harmful toxins from the intestines, as well as drugs for food poisoning.

Filtrum
Smecta

Auxiliaries

First aid kit for a child 1 - 3 years old for rest

When going to the sea with a one-year-old baby, it is worth remembering that children at this age begin to walk, hence there is an increased trauma. At 1 year old, children actively explore the space around them and pull everything that comes their way into their mouths.

Children of 2 years old do not differ much in behavior. Therefore, a children's first aid kit should contain a lot of antiseptics and plasters for wounds, as well as preparations for the prevention of food poisoning.

oral rehydration products
saline nose drops

What to put in an adult traveler's first aid kit

There are no significant differences between the list of drugs for the first aid kit of children, adolescents or adults.

The only difference is in the forms of drugs. Adults and adolescents are more comfortable taking treatment in the form of tablets.

Depending on vacation plans, adults can put hangover remedies, such as Alco-Seltzer, in the first aid kit. Preparations for heartburn and to improve digestion - Gastal, Mezim.

Lovers of outdoor activities in the first-aid kit will need funds to relieve pain in the joints and muscles - Ketonal, Diclofenac.

First aid kit abroad

If you plan to travel abroad, then the first-aid kit must be collected more carefully. Habitual drugs may have completely different names. Without knowing the local language, it can be difficult to communicate with a pharmacy worker. In many countries, you won't get simple medicines without a doctor's prescription. In other countries, the importation of certain drugs may be prohibited or a certificate from a doctor is required that the intake of this medication is necessary.

In addition, when going on vacation abroad, you need to find out the epidemiological situation of the chosen place, perhaps in addition to a carefully collected first-aid kit, you will need preventive vaccinations.

Holidays with children is a responsible event that needs to be approached with all seriousness. When compiling a list for the first aid kit, remember that taking any medication can provoke the development of adverse reactions. It is worth enlisting the support of a doctor who will give recommendations about taking medications and the current dosage.

The route has been built, the maps have been verified, the tickets have been bought, and the suitcases have been packed. There is a big journey ahead for the little man. How to prepare for this important event so that no misunderstandings in the form of broken knees or a hoarse throat spoil the impressions of the rest? What to put in a first aid kit for a child on the road, so as not to forget anything important, but also not to turn into a branch of a small pharmaceutical company during the trip? The portal site, together with the pediatrician Marina Titova, collected all the medicines necessary for the trip.

When forming a first aid kit for a traveling child, it is very important, first of all, to understand what kind of journey it is. What will the child meet on the road? Will it be an acquaintance with an exotic country or an impenetrable taiga? Is he at risk of sunburn or hypothermia? If the journey has a pronounced direction and the threats are obvious, then the prevention of these negative consequences should be taken as a basis.

If you are going to sunny countries by the sea, then sunscreen is a necessary tool in such a journey. Choose the maximum protection for delicate baby skin. Any mother's must-have - mild antihistamines - will come in handy when traveling to exotic countries, and just to a new area. Even if the baby has never had signs of allergic reactions - in an unfamiliar environment, with changes in climate and nutrition, they can appear.

Injuries

Expert: Marina Titova, pediatrician. General medical experience - 15 years, work experience as a pediatrician - 6 years.

Children cannot help but run and jump, respectively, injuries are inevitable. Abrasions, bruises, burns, cuts - this is what you always need to be prepared for. In the first aid kit for a child on a trip, you should have several pharmacy products on hand that will help provide first aid to the baby. How should parents deal with childhood trauma?

Skin damage. The first step is to treat the wound. To do this, use hydrogen peroxide, but if the wound or cut is very deep and you doubt that the peroxide has reached the bottom, then use streptocide so that the wound does not fester. After treatment, burn the edges of the wound with brilliant green or iodine. If a child is allergic to iodine or brilliant green, use wound healing ointments, for example, Depanthenol, Solcoseryl, Rescuer. And in the end - close the wound with a bandage or adhesive tape so that dirt does not get there.
Burns. In this case, Depanthenol cream and the Cosmopor patch should be at hand, which not only protects damaged skin well, but is also easily removed without causing additional trouble to the baby.
Serious bruises. With such bruises, you need to apply cold to the injured area as soon as possible, ice, cold bottled water, a bag of frozen food will do.

Give pain medication if needed. Nurofen will help well, in syrup, if the child is very small, or in tablets for an older child. This drug will relieve pain, inflammation, and fever, advises Marina Titova. - Fix the bruised area with a bandage (elastic bandage, diaper or scarf) if movements bring pain to the child. Make sure that the bandage is not too tight - the blood should flow to the tissues as usual.

Insect bites. Yes, and in this case, the child may need help. Very often, the bite site becomes inflamed and begins to suppurate. Local antihistamines (for example, Fenistil gel) help relieve inflammation. The bite site should be covered with a bandage to avoid infection.

With tick bites, in my professional opinion, only preliminary vaccination, planned, in advance, is effective, the pediatrician is sure. - But if the tick has already bitten, then carefully remove the tick from the skin along with the proboscis, but do not throw it away - put it in a jar or box. Treat the bite site and show the child to the doctors as soon as possible - he may need an immunoglobulin vaccine. The tick should be given for testing to find out if it was infected with encephalitis or other viruses, and if necessary, start treatment in a timely manner.

Perhaps the best remedy for ticks is a specific repellent and regular inspection of the child's skin and head for crawling insects. After all, ticks do not immediately stick, so treating a child’s clothes with tick repellant, removing a crawling tick in time is the best first aid.

More serious injury, such as a suspected fracture. In this case, your task is to provide first aid and quickly seek professional help from a medical facility.

poisoning

Change of food, food in roadside cafes, exotic fruits - all this can provoke poisoning. Most often it is manifested by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, fever.

At the first signs of poisoning, adsorbents should be used, such as, for example, Smecta or Enterosgel. Most often, it is Smecta that is taken on the road, it is packed in convenient one-time bags - I used it, I threw it away.

In case of poisoning, the child needs to be "drank" with a solution of "Smecta" with water and saline solutions (such as "Regidron") to avoid dehydration. Other drugs without a doctor's prescription should not be used. If intoxication is not removed by "Smecta" and "Enterosgel", the child must be shown to the doctor.

Cold

A cold can strike a child anywhere and anytime. It can be a reaction to cold, draft, climate change, even stress. To be ready for its appearance, it is enough to put only two drugs in the first-aid kit for the child on the road. Antipyretic, the same "Nurofen", for example, and an aerosol for treating the throat - "Gexoral" or "Miramistin". The latter, by the way, has a wide spectrum of action: they can treat the throat, wash the nose and even the eyes of the child, if something suddenly gets into them. Of course, if a child has a sore throat, they will not be able to escape, but Miramistin is indispensable as a first aid for catarrhal phenomena.

Nausea

Not all, but many children react with nausea, weakness to motion sickness in a car, plane or on the water. With such features of the vestibular apparatus, special preparations, such as Dramina, do well. You need to take it shortly before the start of the trip. Then the child will not experience nausea throughout the journey. If special preparations are not at hand, mint candies and even green apples relieve nausea well.

Do not forget about the chronic diseases of the child: if the baby has certain health problems, take the main drugs on the road that will help relieve an attack or complete the treatment cycle that has begun.

Perhaps the main advice that can be given to families planning to travel with a child: do not go too far from "civilization". In which case, you should be able to quickly deliver the child to a medical facility.
