Brief Answer:
I have listed the medicines

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Congrats on having a baby. If your child is exclusively breast fed, there is not much to worry about even if you are travelling with the baby. However, the following medicines may come handy:
* Colicaid Drops - 10 drops to be given in case of excessive crying.
* Nasoclear Saline Nasal Drops - 1-2 drops to be instilled in each nostril in case of nasal block.
* T-Bact Ointment (mupirocin) - For any inadvertent abrasions or if any boils occur.
* Crocin (paracetamol) drops - To be given in case of fever

These medicines are normally enough. Proper hand hygeine and proper wrapping of the baby is very important.

Let me know if I could help further.
