Can ciprofloxacin be prescribed for a baby for traveler's diarrhea? Can insect repellent be used on a baby?

Ciprofloxacin is no longer recommended as a primary treatment for traveler's diarrhea in children or adults. Your pharmacist can suggest other options tailored to your needs. For sunscreen, it's best to use a product with at least SPF 30 and reapply it often throughout the day. When using insect repellent on a baby, it's important to avoid applying it to their face and hands to reduce the risk of ingestion. Icaridin-based products are recommended at this age. Your pharmacist can provide you with suitable options based on what they have in stock. Additionally, they can advise you on other items for your travel kit, such as acetaminophen and Gravol.
