Jakarta - Pediatrician at Permata Depok Hospital, dr. Agnes Tri Harjaningrum, Sp.A, provided a number of important tips for parents who will be making a safe and comfortable homecoming trip with their children.
"Thorough preparation is the main key to ensuring that your homecoming trip with your children runs smoothly and pleasantly," he said in an online discussion attended on Thursday.
Here are various preparations before going on a homecoming trip:
Immunizations and essential medications
Before starting the trip, make sure your child's immunization schedule is complete, especially the influenza vaccine which is often missed. In addition, bring your child's personal medication supplies, such as paracetamol, oralit, diaper rash ointment, allergy medication, thermometer, and first aid kit in case of accidents (P3K).
"These medicines are very important to have in case your child experiences fever, diarrhea, or other health problems during the trip," explained Dr. Agnes.
