Questions parents ask

What should be in a baby's medicine box?

HealthHub lists a digital thermometer, paracetamol for children, saline drops with a bulb syringe, calamine or hydrocortisone cream, anti-gas drops with simethicone, cotton balls and plasters, and says to ask a doctor before giving any medicine.

Why are there no doses on this list?

Doses for babies depend on weight and age, and HealthHub says not to give your baby any medicine without consulting a doctor first. Your doctor or pharmacist will give the dose for your child.
