The school year is officially in full swing, and with the new school year comes a huge wave of germs and illnesses in children. Overexposure to new sicknesses that they haven’t encountered before is very normal and it’s no cause for alarm if your child experiences a few more colds than in past years. The important thing is being prepared for emergency situations should the event arise.
Here are some essential supplies that you should have stocked away to ensure that your child remains happy and healthy and can get back to school!
Thermometers
The first thing you should do when a child complains of feeling unwell is to take their temperature. You can do that easily with a variety of products. First, there is the external Temp Qwik thermometer, which reads body temperature with a gentle touch to the forehead. These are great because they don’t come in contact with any mouth germs in the process. They are also easy to use on squirmy kids because of the fast, 15-second readout.
Or, of course, you can use a simple digital thermometer to take a quick temperature. Flexible tip digital thermometers can make readings safer and more comfortable.
Medicine Accessories
For the times when your child needs to take cough medicine or a mild pain reliever, you may want to have some tools to assist with convenient dosage and administration. With a pill crusher, for example, you can grind headache or decongestion medicine into a fine powder and mix into yogurt or pudding. Also, with an oral syringe, you can ensure that your child receives a precise amount of liquid cough medicine.
Diagnostic Sets
For parents who prefer to know exactly what is going on with their children and have access to the same information as doctors, we have complete diagnostic sets which enable you to have up-close views of ears, nose, and throats.
Nebulizers
For children who will need respiratory medication, there are a variety of nebulizers available in child-friendly designs. They come in fun shapes such as frogs and dogs, and can be an unintimidating way to administer the correct amount of meds directly to your child.
