The composition of the home medical kit does not include those drugs and special care items that are individually assigned to patients with specific diseases and do not refer to emergency care or general care for patients. In each case of planned treatment of patients at home, the doctor recommends certain medications and medical products( diagnostic and therapeutic), shown only to the patient, which form the basis of the individual treatment.

According to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, everything needed for the patient must be purchased at the pharmacy.

Box with sterile gauze squares or napkins of 9 square centimeters;Each such box is stored in a separate sterile package. Two packages of a sterile bandage five centimeters wide, two packages two centimeters wide. A pack of sterile cotton wool. Sterile patch two centimeters wide. It can be done already, cutting with scissors along it or simply tearing it off the edge. A box with pre-prepared pieces of bandage. A pair of good tweezers or tweezers to extract splinters.

Ask your doctor for advice on antiseptics. A bag of baking soda. Tube or jar with petroleum jelly or any medicine recommended by a doctor for burns. Aspirin in tablets for children( in each tablet one and a quarter of the grain).If you live far from a doctor, ask him if you need to have a vomiting root to induce vomiting in the event of serious poisoning. Rectal thermometer for children under the age of six. Warmer. A syringe with a rubber end, preferably soft, to put the child in an enema, if the doctor prescribes, and cleanse the nose during a cold

The first-aid kit should be out of reach of the child. Some mothers will be surprised, because her baby is still very tiny, and can not walk. But he will not always lie in a crib or sit in an arena, it will be very short time, and he will start to crawl, and then walk. And since, as we have already talked about, his horizons expand with age, the possibilities increase, he can find and pull into the mouth what has been lost in some cracks for a very long time, will be able to reach the "warehouse of beautiful things"one of which necessarily decides to taste. But then it will be too late for mom to change her habits and find a suitable place for medicines. Therefore, the first-aid kit should be placed high enough to be out of reach for the child and lock on the lock so that it can not open it. It must be remembered that even ordinary aspirin, which parents leave carelessly in prominent places, and tranquilizers are the main cause of serious intoxication in young children.

The first-aid kit should be in a dry place, but not above the radiator.

One should be especially cautious in using the medicines contained in it and ruthlessly throw out those of them that have expired.

The first-aid kit for a child should contain:

1) hygroscopic sterile cotton wool, from which you can make wadded flagella for the hygiene of the nose and ears;

2) hygienic sticks for processing the navel and skin( but not the ears and nose!);

3) sterile compresses;

4) bactericidal plaster;

5) the bandages are sterile, wide and narrow;

6) adhesive plaster;

7) scissors;

8) tweezers to remove splinters;

9) a rubber bulb for an enema of 200 g and for the introduction of drugs on 50 g;

10) 2-3 vials of hydrogen peroxide for the treatment of umbilical and other wounds;

11) 1 bottle of isotonic sodium chloride solution;

12) 1 bottle of brilliant green;

13) 1 bottle of iodine. Iodine and zelenoku can be replaced by 1 bottle of fucocine, which is used in the treatment of pustular and fungal diseases, it has an antiallergic effect, not to mention that fucortzin is more effective than iodine and zelenka;

14) 1 medical thermometer;

15) 1 bottle of alcohol 90 °( with label);

16) baby soap or bottle with cleansing milk or lotion, baby cream, baby cleansing napkins;

17) 1 bottle of romazulan - means for disinfection of water and skin during bathing;

21) 5 packages "Smekty" - first aid for flatulence, bloating;

22) gas outlet pipe;

23) dry medicinal herbs( marigold, chamomile, mint, oregano, turn).

You can also keep in the medicine cabinet the following: 1 box with dressing such as special adhesive paper, which is very useful for small cuts, because it allows you to connect the edges of the wound without suturing;1 package of compresses impregnated with an anticoagulant used for bleeding, especially nasal;ointment or other remedy for burns.

When buying medicines and other medicines at a pharmacy, it is necessary to pay attention to the release date and the expiration date, as well as instructions for use, which stipulate contraindications for use. If the expiration date of the drug is already ending, then it is better not to buy it, and you should not buy drugs that cause anxiety about contraindications and side effects after taking them. In each pharmacy to the buyer, upon request, pharmacists provide quality certificates from which you can find out information about the manufacturer and about testing the drug.

The storage of medicines should also be approached with all responsibility and care. From time to time, you need to review the contents of the medicine cabinet, throwing out everything that clutters it, and adding the missing one. Some medicines persist in certain conditions, others do not.

I would like to give some recommendations on this issue, which will allow you to more correctly treat the medicines stored in the medicine cabinet:

1) the expiration date is indicated on the ampoules, which should not be violated;

2) antibiotics and sulfonamide preparations in tablets or syrups are not recommended for use without doctor's prescription;even if the expiry date has not yet expired, but the treatment has already been completed, it is better to discard them;

3) wafers, tablets, dragees should be stored in a dry place;

4) eye drops, if the vial is open, can be used only for 2 weeks;

5) on ointments: if a liquid flows out of the tube when pressed from the tube, and then the hardened ointment appears, we throw out the tube;If the ointment contains an antibiotic or sulfonamide, you can store it for no longer than one season. Powders should be stored in a dry place;

6) isotonic sodium chloride solution can be stored, but after each use, pipette should be treated with cotton wool soaked with alcohol;

7) about syrups: after the vial is opened, it can be used for several weeks;

8) the candles are stored in a cool place;

9) Unopened drug packages can be stored until the expiration date indicated on them.

Now in the pharmacy you can buy a wide variety of medicines for infants. They are available with various fillers and other additives that improve the taste. Some mothers buy several types of drugs of the same action, so in the medicine cabinet at home you can see a complete mess in the medications, which, if necessary, will cause unnecessary problems with the choice of remedy.

For the presence of many drugs, my mother forgets and buys new ones. First-aid kits are often packed with medicines that will never be used. In this case, it is better to get rid of them, even if once this or that remedy was bought under the prescription of a doctor.

Do you lock a medication cabinet?

Do you put protective caps on the medicine bottles, especially when you place them near the baby?

Are the medicines within reach of the child?

Do you keep Ipecakuanas syrup on hand?(This is an emetic.)

Do you get rid of overdue drugs in time?

Are scissors, razor blades, needles, and the like within the reach of the child?
