 Non-Prescription Medications

  In the event that your child suffers from a minor ailment, which does not require a doctor, for example, minor cold symptoms, cough, headache, allergies, cramps, stomachache, it may be appropriate to administer non-prescription medication as follows;

 

  1. Tylenol:  Dosed by your child’s weight for headache, fever, and minor pains.

  2. Sudafed:  A decongestant only, which does not cause drowsiness, for nasal congestion and post-nasal drip.

  3. Decongestant / Antihistamine combination:  For allergy symptoms, which make camp activities uncomfortable, such as persistent sneezing, and itchy watery eyes.

  4. Tums:  This very safe source of calcium is useful for minor stomach discomfort due to stress and/or excess acid.

  5. Throat spray or lozenges:  This medication stops throat discomfort instantly, and is very useful while waiting for the Tylenol to take effect.

  6. Expectorant / Cough Suppressant:  This medication is useful for a dry non-productive cough.

  7. Diarrhea Medication:  If more than one episode of diarrhea, Capacitate tablets will be given according to the labeled directions.  Persistent diarrhea will be treated with Imodium AD.

  8. Ibuprofen:  Also known as Advil or Motrin.  This medication is useful for discomfort that is not well relieved by Tylenol.
