Let Wendy Meidinger know by ccvf Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello If you are going away for a winter holiday, you might want to take some medications with you to treat traveler's diarrhea. Our bodies sometimes become upset by changes in routine, food, customs and time zones, Carrying certain medications with you can save a lot of grief while on holiday. Our pharmacists can advise you about which medications are good to bring for this problem. Constipation in children is a source of worry but it is generally not serious. Rather than choosing a laxative right away, ensure your child is getting enough fluids and fibre. If the problem still exists when these dietary solutions don't resolve the problem, glycerin suppositories work well usually within an hour. Stopping medications without telling your doctor is not a good idea. Often patients think of only prescribed medicines in this context. However, many people take low dose A.S.A. daily and buy it without a prescription. It's not good to stop this drug suddenly because this could increase your risk of stroke or heart problems. Always check with your doctor before stopping any medication. We read about many weird solutions to everyday problems. Here's one: if you have a cough, rub Vick's Vapo-Rub on your feet. There is absolutely no proof that this works, but wear socks to bed if you try it at night. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
