What Are The Best Things To Put in a First Aid Kit?
First aid kits need to have enough supplies to cope with a variety of sudden medical emergencies, but they also have to be relatively lightweight and portable. Some kits have specialized equipment for dealing with injuries, while others are geared more toward basic medical problems or are for treating kids. Basic supplies include adhesive bandages for minor scrapes and cuts, alcohol-free antiseptic supplies for disinfecting surfaces and mild over-the-counter pain reliever.
What Is the Best First Aid Kit to Take on the Go?
The best first aid kits for hiking, camping, boating and road trips are compact and easy to carry in a backpack or glove compartment. They should include hydrocortisone cream for poison ivy exposure or bug bites, hydrogen peroxide for cleaning scrapes and cuts and some over-the-counter antihistamines, which may be carried as tablets or topical cream. Small scissors, tweezers and other tools for removing splinters and thorns are helpful, as is sticky tape for holding on non-adhesive gauze bandages.
What Is the Best First Aid Kit for Kids?
Kids have special needs when it comes to first aid. The best first aid kits for homes with small children or for schools need pediatric versions of all the usual over-the-counter medicine, such as kids' allergy medication, children's pain reliever and ouch-free sterile wipes. First aid kits used by schools might include a digital ear thermometer for quickly checking a child's temperature.
