Stocking up on Meds - what would you recommend?


Hey there

We are going to be back in the UK for a week for the first time in 2 years The chemists here are pants - everything is behind the counter so you have to know what you're asking for, but they have hardly and medicines that I know so I never know what to get. I want to stock up on useful things, so please give me ideas of stuff for babies and pre-school which you could not live without! (thinking of colds, teething, constipation, tummy ache, bites, grazes - just the usual kiddy problems)

So far I plan to get:

Medised
Vicks vapour rub
Witch Hazel

Ideas please ladies!
