abwsco Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I still always have a cupboard well stocked even though mine are 16 & 18 now. BTW for high temperatures, a cold damp flannel with a few drops of lavender oil on it works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well here I am, 3.30am, two children up - one's just been sick again, poor thing her tummy hurts so much, the other has finshed with the vomiting as far as I can tell and has moved onto diahorrea (sp?) and also has a slight temperatureGoing to pretty tired in the morning! Mrs B Poor Mrs B, I hope you aren't working too today Sending you lots of {{{HUGS}}} We also have a selection of the "self dose" medications; cough syrup -several types, calpol, nurofen, arnica both doses and rescue remedy. The painkillers are either in sachets or the melt form as the children are bigger now & they are so much easier to throw into a bag than a bottle & spoons. The amount which my 2 need (fortunately ), a bottle will sometimes go out of date before it's finished too. Sha x p.s. glad Fred was a success, although you were the only one to appreciate him!!

Egluntyne Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Get well soon all those who are afflicted. I had it over Christmas. The sore throat was just awful. Have now got a graveyard cough which gets me loads of sympathy, but I am actually no longer feeling ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm with Mrs Bertie when my kids were little I always had calpol or similar in the cupboard as well as stuff for bites & stings antiseptic creams, plasters, nits you name it I had it otherwise with 4 of them I would have needed a seat with my name on it in our surgery. some of my lot think they have thankfully its a minority, most moms are very sensible, but we do have a culture in some areas that says that you should not have to pay for ANYTHING, if you can get it free from the NHS or benefits. I sort of understand the mentality if you are struggling but a bottle of paracetamol for YOUR CHILD, it is embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
