What medicines to take with you to travel with your child

Every year in June my son and I go to the sea. Combining a useful vacation with a visit to my grandmother is a tradition that we have never violated in six years. We usually return in mid-August. And during these two months - this is also a tradition - we have time to get sick and return home with bronchitis. Now I don’t carry a ton of drugs with me, all this can be bought at any pharmacy near the house. But in the first years the first-aid kit took almost half a case. And, of course, I still collect it if I need to go abroad: there is no guarantee that they will sell the necessary preparations there. What should I take with me? We tried to make the most complete list in case you do not have any opportunity to go to the pharmacy. What you need from it personally you decide, based on the health of your baby.Photo: GettyImagesIMPORTANT!A number of medications, such as fever suppositories, should be stored in the refrigerator.
