Here’s a complete checklist of what’s a must-have in the medicine cabinet when there’s a baby in the house.<\/p>\n

Pain medications<\/h3>\n

Pain medications are divided into two groups: with the active ingredient Ibuprofen, and with the active ingredient Acetaminophen. Both reduce pain, fever and inflammation. The first can be taken from 6 months from birth, the second from 2 months.<\/p>\n

Also, the drugs differ in the allowable dosage, which depends on weight, not age. Read the instructions ahead of time and determine the proper dosage for your child. You can also discuss the dosage of all medications in the medicine cabinet with your pediatrician.<\/p>\n

Medications may come under brand names. American, European, and Mexican pharmacies provide a wide variety of medications with these active ingredients.<\/p>\n

You need to choose according to the age and weight of the child. If symptoms last more than three days, you need to consult a doctor.<\/p>\n
