The Family Medicine
Chest |
Here is a list of useful medicines and dressings with a description
of their uses. All are quite cheap and worth stocking at home in
readiness for minor illnesses. Keep in a box or cupboard with a lock
- or store them well out of the reach of children.
- Soluble Aspirin
For adults and older children. Good for headaches, colds, sore
throats and painful bruises.
- Paracetamol Syrup
For relief of pain or fever in young children.
- Sedative Cough Linctus
For dry or painful coughs - but not coughs caused by common colds.
- Menthol Crystals
Add to hot water to make steam inhalations for treating catarrh and
dry or painful coughs.
- Vapour Rub
Again, for steam inhalations. Also useful for children with stuffy
noses or dry coughs. Rub on the chest and nose.
- Ephedrine Nose Drops
For runny noses in children over one year old. Use before
meals and at night but not for more than four days.
