Still, you could have been better prepared. According to Howard C. Mofenson, M.D., chairman of the American Academy of Pediatric's Committee on Accident Pre- mht vention, being prepared means having on hand a fresh supply of medications for treating common ailments. Here's what Dr. Mofenson suggests be kept in the home for meeting most ordinary family emergencies: Petroleum jelly, as a soothing ointment. Gauze compresses, tape, and vomiting in case of an overdose of medicine or poisoning (There are some poisonings where use of Ipecac is contraindicated; read the label carefully before using). The doctor also recommends having available a bathroom scale to measure any dehydration of diarrhea patients (children especially should not lose more than 10 percent of their body weight or the result could be serious), tweezers and alcohol for splinter removal, a written summary of the children's allergies and drug sensitivities, and a folder on emergency procedures (available from the American Academy of Pediatrics, 1801 Hinman Ave., Evans-ton- , 111. 60201). A preparation containing kaolin and pectin to control very mild diarrhea can also be kept on hand. But Dr. Mofenson cautions, all medications do not have the same effect on all people. He advises using them only when absolutely necessary, reading the instructions and following them. carefully Also, says the doctor, make sure the medications will be there Band-Aidwhen needed.
