Moms of 1+...medicine Cabinet Q.

So what should I have on hand and why?

I have tylenol and baby ayr and thats it...I am sure there is something else I need. Will tylenol take down a temp?

Thanks

Re: Moms of 1+...medicine Cabinet Q.

Childrens Benadryl(they dont have infants) in case of an allergy, Motrin, Saline Spray and yes Tylenol brings a temp down.

Tylenol will take down a temp.

In my med. cabinet I have:

Benadryl (you just never know when/what DC is allergic too)
Tylenol
Oragel
PediaCare (just because- def. not a necessity)
and Motrin (although I dont really like to use this- he has to have a real high fever or be in alot of pain before i use this)

I also have the little noses saline spray

All we use is Motrin and Tylenol. We also keep a humidifier handy for the days when she's really stuffy (though that doesn't really fit in the medicine cabinet )

pedialyte

Thanks Ladies....now I have my shopping list for CVS this weekend...

Re: Moms of 1+...medicine Cabinet Q.

I agree with the Bendryl (in case of allergic reaction). I just stocked up on Tylenol, Motrin, Anti gas stuff, Benedryl, paroxide, alcohol wipes, small bandaids, dimatap and I think that's it. I was told to buy the Benedryl by my physician....I did wish I had it one day - DS got hives from a food and I didn't have any...it could have been bad.
