Tips for preserving the health of children during hot weather. 1. Babies and young children are not able to tell you that they are thirsty, so it is important to offer drinks or breastfeeds frequently. Breastfed and bottle-fed babies less than six months of age will need to be fed more often in hot weather. Water or other drinks are not needed unless recommended by a doctor. Babies over six months of age can be offered small amounts of water, after or between milk feeds. Offer young children water as their main drink throughout the day. Fruit juice, fruit based drinks and fizzy drinks are not recommended. Encourage older children to drink regularly as they often forget to drink because they are busy playing.
2. Dress babies and children in light, loose clothing.
3. Bath children with lukewarm water. Don’t use cold water to bath them. If you use a fan, don’t point it towards your baby or child but use it to keep the air circulating. If you have an air conditioner, make sure the room does not get too cold.
4. Keep your children inside when possible, particularly during the hottest parts of the day, generally between 11am and 4pm. Plan your activities for early morning, late afternoon or evenings. If you have to go out, protect your baby’s or child’s skin from the sun (keep them in the shade or cover their skin with loose clothing and a broad-brimmed hat). Use small amounts of sunscreen with SPF 30+ on skin which cannot be covered. If your child does a lot of outdoor activities and exercise, take regular breaks and provide plenty of fluids.
5. Never leave babies, children or pets alone in a car, not even for a moment. Babies and children can overheat very quickly in cars. The temperature inside a car that is parked is hotter than outside the car. Most of the temperature increase occurs within five minutes of closing the car and having the windows down causes only a very slight decrease in temperature. Finally, when planning a long car journey, try to travel in the cooler hours of the day, dress your child lightly and provide plenty of cool water during the journey.

Disposal of unused medicines
Medicines play an important role in treating many conditions and diseases. It is more important that when they are no longer needed they should be properly disposed to help reduce harm from accidental exposure or intentional misuse. It is critical for consumers and caregivers to remove expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from their homes as quickly as possible. This will reduce the chance that others may accidentally take or intentionally misuse the unneeded medicine. The following methods of disposal can be considered when disposing of expired, unwanted, or unused medicines.
1. Transfer Unused Medicine to Authorized Collectors for Disposal
This can be achieved by ‘Medicine take-back program’ which is a good way to safely dispose of most types of unneeded medicines. In the community, authorized collection sites may be retail pharmacies, hospital or clinic pharmacies, and law enforcement locations.
2. Disposal in Household Trash
Where there is no medicine take-back program, individuals can follow these simple steps to dispose of most medicines in the household trash:
i. Mix medicines (do not crush tablets or capsules) with an unpalatable substance such as dirt, kitty litter or used coffee grounds. (The idea is to make it unpalatable for consumption).
ii. Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag;
iii. Throw the container in your household trash;
iv. Scratch out all personal information on the prescription label of empty medicine packaging to make it unreadable, then dispose of the container.
3. Flushing of Certain Medicines
There is a small number of medicines that may be especially harmful and, in some cases, fatal with just one dose if they are used by someone other than the person for whom the medicine was prescribed. To prevent accidental ingestion of these potentially dangerous medicines by children, or pets, it is recommended that these medicines be disposed of quickly. Such medicines can be flushed down the sink or toilet as soon as they are no longer needed. For example, patients using fentanyl patches for pain should immediately flush their used or unneeded patches down the toilet. This help to keep others safe by ensuring that these medicines cannot be used again or accidentally ingested and cause harm. The list of medicines recommended for disposal by flushing can be obtained here: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/EnsuringSafeUseofMedicine/SafeDisposalofMedicines/UCM337803.pdf.
