Mederma for kids is great to apply to cuts and scrapes that are scarring. Says Dr. wood

Brace yourself for bug bites and bee stings, Dr. Woods suggest using a itch-stopping topical gel like children’s Benadryl anti itch gel. If your child is having a allergic reaction to a bee sting, you can give them Benadryl or look for a product containing Diphenhydramine.

If your child gets motion sickness on those long road trips, Dr . woods suggests Sea Bands over Dramamine.  Sea bands work as an acupuncture bands on the wrists minimizing motion sickness, while Dramamine causes Drowsiness.
