One shouldn't take any medicines without doctor's prescription, but for emergencies I carry the following -

Avomine - for motion sickness
Dependal - for loose motions
Pudin hara
Combiflam
Disprin

For the baby, please first consult your pediatrician and ask him the specific medicines that can be given for situations like

Fever
Cold
Dehydration (this is the most important as it can largely happen in travelling babies - doc will provide a suitable ORS as applicable to your baby)
Indigestion

we had faced a similar issue with another Baby where the originally prescribed medicine was not available and the pharmacist gave an alternative medicine, and that alternative medicine was not suitable for that baby. So alternatives has to be confirmed by your Doc.

I am not expert in baby medicine, but for Adults (only under supervision of a physician):

1. Domstol/Domel - For nausea
2. Metrogil - For stomach cramps
3. Crocin - For headache, Fever
4. Amoxyllin - Broad spectrum antibiotic
5. Pantazole - Antacid
6. ORS- For dehydration
7. Dependle- Loose stools
