Baby Travel Health KitPediatric Travel Health KitIn addition to the travel health kit recommended for all travelers, parents should carry safe water and snacks; waterless, alcohol-based hand sanitizer; child-safe hand wipes; ORS packets; oral syringes for the administration of medications and ORS; diaper rash ointment; and a water- and insect-proof ground sheet for play outside. In addition, many countries may not provide medications and child-care products of the same type and quality as are available at home. In selected circumstances, rectal preparations of medications, such as acetaminophen; topical antibacterial antibiotics, such as mupirocin; and lice and scabies topical treatments may be useful. As a precaution, travelers with children should consider bringing additional items in their travel health kit they might need, such as baby formula and medications specific to the child.
