When traveling in Russia, you can use the policy OMS, the main thing is not to forget it. However, I am calmer when the most basic and familiar medicines are on hand and you have access to them right away

And febrifuge in any case is necessary have to wait for a call to the hospital or the arrival of the doctor. Well, and you can sometimes get on the road when the doctor is very far away at least something you can try to do.
I remember in China, the first-aid kit was very useful, since in our “village” was somewhat problematic to get medical care and buy something at the pharmacy. Also, I still have a habit recheck all that we are prescribed, and consult with someone else regarding the correctness of the appointment. By and large scheme actions in simple cases are already known and need only full-time diagnosis.
Honestly, I think it’s better for parents not to lose. vigilance and know even the basics. For example, if the cough is wet the child is coughing, he does not need to give him a mucolytic, which increases the amount of secret a small child can and “choke”.

What do I take for myself in addition
No wonder I called the post “first-aid kit for an adult,” because I use it myself the same medicines as the baby. For myself, almost nothing I do not take it, and so there is a complete set 
– Ibuprofen tablets / Nurofen from pain and heat. And I’m still Citramon I take for myself, my head is best of all passes from it. – Pills Faringosept from throat. – Furatsilin tablets for washing the nose and gargling, although in general you can and just water with soda is do), but for me personally, furatsilin somehow helps more.

Separately about the thermometer
They asked about the thermometer, I decided to add straight to the post. I use electronic, since the glass even mercury-free fight. Especially, Something I once could not find mercury-free in any neighborhood pharmacy. So, with electronic thermometers there is a problem – they show the devil knows what.
I bought 4 electronic thermal centers (one of them measures the temperature on the forehead and in the ear turned out to be the worst of all), and then each Testil in the normal state of a person and with the disease, that is, he did measurements and compared them with the usual mercury thermometer. Exactly the same thermometer always showed the same AND DT-501, however, to wait need a few more minutes after he squeaked. And more This one works less, I wrote about it separately, it can be reconfigure
