Hello ma'am, For the child, here are my recommendations: Advil or Tylenol with tool to administer (syringe for example), Moisturizing cream without perfume Benadryl or Reactin in oral liquid, Saline solution in sealed vials, baby wipes and filters, Diaper rash cream such as Zincofax extra strength or Triad Sachets for rehydration (Pedialyte for example) Sunscreen with SPF of at least 30, Depending on the stopover, medication for traveler's diarrhea and mosquito repellent, your pharmacist may prescribe it if deemed appropriate, as well as any other product. Her/his usual medication if necessary. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
