Travelling with a toddler - Overnight Medical Kit

Summers are here !! Yes , they actually have been here in Bengaluru since a month. Aren't we lucky?
Snide comments aside. I have had enough of idling time in front of the tv , computers and pigging out.I was on the lookout for a different kind of trip. After debating from Goa to Kerela , I finally decided to embark on a spiritual journey , albeit only for a day or two.
So , I finally zeroed in on Shirdi , Maharashtra. Though this is quintessentially only a 1.5 day trip , it does entail travelling with my kid. Everyone knows that scrapes and stings are to be expected when travelling with toddlers.
This calls for a bit more than just a first aid kit .It calls for a mega overnight kit. Here is what is in my kit


  1. Tylenol / Calphol / Crocin - Kids tend to get feverish  with the change in climates and being in and out of air-conditioning. So keep the Tylenol at hand. Ensure that you have the dosage chart and carry your thermometer as well. No guessing allowed.
  2. Probiotics for Upset Stomach - Erratic eating habits and travelling tells a toll on the little one's tummy.Try Econorm or any other probiotics to keep the tummy healthy.
  3. Antibiotic Cream - For soothing little scratches
  4. Oral Rehydration Solution Powder packs - These little packets provide a store house of energy and prevent dehydration during travelling.
  5. Gas Allevients - Sitting in the car for long hours at a stretch leads to gas and discomfort.Opt for a simethicon bases gas reliever and in my case I can trust Lanzole .Always check with your doctor for the right dosage.
These items and the essentials of the first aid kit  (http://jiya-everythingunderthesun.blogspot.in/2013/04/first-aid-kit-travel.html?showComment=1373013095466#c3384971367729948484)  will make your travel that much easier.
