As a mother of 2 years old, I went through numbers of times with stuffy noses, stomach upsets,
and all sorts of bumps and bruises.
I believe every home should have a well-stocked first aid kit ready for kids.
The essentials required in the kit:
1) Band-aid
Buy them in a variety of sizes for minor cuts, blisters and sore spots.
2) Bandages
Crepe bandages are useful for support or holding a dressing in place.
3) Cotton balls
4) Antiseptic Lotion
Lotion to clean cuts and grazes and help prevent infection. To use them, take a cotton ball and clean the wound, gently working away from the centre to remove dirt and germs.
5) Thermometer
I have digital thermometer, I always use it under her armpit to measure her body temparature.
6) Antiseptic cream
Apply antiseptic to cuts, grazes or minor burns after cleaning to help prevent infection.
7) Pain Killer
I use crocin which is a pain reliever and fever reducer.
8) Measuring Spoon
To measure the unit of medicine.
9) Saline drops
Saline drops to loosen mucus in a stuffy nose. My pediatricin prescribe Otrivin for my daughter. It really works for her. Although I do not rely too much on medicine, I always prefer home remedies.

11) A list of emergency phone numbers
*Never give an infant under 2 years old any medication without doctor prescription.
As a rule, tablets and drugs ought not to be kept in the medical aid box. On the off chance that mains faucet water isn't promptly accessible for the eye water system, in any event, one liter of sterile water or clean typical saline (0.9%) in fixed, expendable holders should be given.
