Feel like your little one can’t go a week without picking up a nasty bug or tickly cough? You’re not alone. Save yourself a panicked dash-to-the-pharmacy-in-the-dead-of-night scenario by keeping a reliable supply of children’s medicine at home. Packed with all the seasonal medicines, from head lice-blitzing treatments to soothing teething relief, here’s what you can pick up on your next Saver’s visit.
Cold & flu remedies
When they’re full of cold and a fever starts to run high, it might be time to call in back up. For common colds and congestion, a little vapour rub can go a long way at breaking up mucus. If a cough is causing distress, try to decipher the type of cough by talking to your pharmacist or doctor before reaching for a bottle of throat-soothing medicine or throat spray.
But, before you offer your child a ‘spoonful of sugar’, NHS England recommends: “Make sure you get the right strength for your child’s age and check the label for the correct dose. Or you can ask a pharmacist for advice.”

Vitamins
Prevention is better than cure, right? Which is why multi-vitamins work to not only keep your little one hitting their recommended daily quota of all the good stuff, but they can also help support the immune system too (for the NHS guidelines on children’s vitamins, click here). Depending on your child’s age (and flavour preference!) vitamins have come a long way in recent years. Choose between chewy, gummy-like vitamins or a liquid formula that can mixed in with their favourite drinks (but always check the label for advice).
One thing to note is that if your child has a certain vitamin deficiency, multivitamins may not be the best route to take. Always seek expert advice if this is the case.
Hay fever wreaking havoc? Or maybe a furry friend is causing a little discomfort? If you suspect your child is suffering from a common or mild allergy an over-the-counter remedy can help soothe their symptoms. From itchy eyes to runny noses, allergy relief medicine, wipes and capsules could help get them back on track.
