Medaspor cream for very serious bum rash Sometimes it is a fungal infection and regular bum creams won't work.

Daktarin oral gel for thrush on nipples and in baby's mouth.

Tx Julz! I absolutely agree with you regarding the cough meds under the age of 2! Tx for pointing that out. We used a nebuliser with paediatric duolin drops to open the chest. When my son was older we used the cough meds.


Sterimar - flush the nose daily
Iliadin - Open a blocked nose

Great list jaylee and I love that you give the warning first.

Cough mixtures a big no no with children under 2 though. I would question any paed that gives a script for them.

I like to let a runny nose run. Saline is great for keeping the nose clear.
