When is a cough the sign of a medical emergency and when
should it be treated with a tablespoon of Robitussin? When is it not a big deal
that your child is in so much pain that “she acts like she’s possessed”? And should
you ever give your toddler Gatorade?
Thanks to Cookie for answering all of these questions in a
concise article that details what to keep in your medicine cabinet and how to
respond to any two a.m. attack of fever, nausea, earache, cough, or diarrhea. As
the article makes clear, remaining calm when your child is sick increases the
chance that you’ll get the illness under control without resorting to antibiotics--or
a fun family outing to the ER.
I did notice there was no mention of what Mommy Pills to
keep in the medicine cabinet, but perhaps that’s self-explanatory.
