No matter whether you are home with your parents or family, outside playing, owies and boo-boos and ouchies can come at any time in a child's life. You're going to be hurt because that is life, and it appears when you least expect. But, don’t worry! A first aid kit can help you be prepared for these small accidents. A first aid kit is a bit like a special box or bag full of helpful stuff that you can use if you're hurt. You can put one together with the items you feel are important, or purchase a ready mafe kit from any store.
You do not plan what can happen at home. Play, cook and even walk accidents happen. This is why it Is very important, that you have a good first aid kit. This helps you prepared for any situation of an accident. Some things which should typically be included in a basic first aid kit are :
That being said, all families are unique and have varying first aid needs. You will be able to customize your first aid kit specifically for you and your family. Include in the kit, medicine needed for anyone with allergies or special health problems. We also recommend including your family doctor and emergency services phone numbers, for ease of access. You can also check regularly your kit for expired items. Be sure to replenish and maintain your kit, should anything be expired or used from it.
However, if you simply do not have time to make one of your own first aid kit (which is a totally valid reason), fear not! You can purchase a made one, ready for action. These are some items you would commonly find in a basic first aid kit.
For cuts and scrapes: Clean the cut with soap and water first. Afterward, rinse it off lightly then put on a band-aid or gauze. If the incision bleeds a great deal, apply gentle pressure to it until bleeding ceases.
Splinter: Soak the area around it for a few minutes (or throw off medicated cloth), scrub vigorously with soap and water, rinse well, dry. Remove the splinter with your tweezers.
Allergic reaction: If they experience an allergic response, take their treatment exactly as prescribed. Further, if it seems this reaction is a severe one — emergency services should be called.
