9 essentials that belong in every first-aid kit

  • If you ever made a first-aid box for a school project, then you know all the usual thing that need to be in it: an antiseptic like a Dettol or Savlon, a few strips of adhesive bandage, a painkiller and fever medicine like paracetamol, an antibiotic cream like a neomycin, gauze, cotton, scissors and something to soothe the throat - your favourite flavour of lozenges, perhaps?To get more news about IFAK kit, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

    The first-aid box can, of course, be as simple or as elaborate as you like. We took stock of what doctors say should be in any first-aid box.
    2. Adhesive bandage

    Accidents happen. Even if you aren’t someone who bumps into things all the time, or have kids, waterproof Band-aids or Hansaplast can come in quite handy in a variety of situations. Case in point: shoe bite.

    The bandage will prevent your clothes (or shoes) from rubbing against your wound and keep it dry at the same time.
    3. Safety pins

    Two reasons: safety pins are versatile - they come in handy for wardrobe emergencies, too; and when you break the clasp on your crêpe bandage, you’ll need a safety pin to keep the bandage in place.

    4. Tweezers

    Don’t go trying to remove a splinter with that safety pin, now. Use tweezers. And if it looks like the splinter is in too deep, don’t try to remove it yourself, go to a doctor. A good pair can help you get those eyebrows looking on fleek.

    5. Scissors

    This one’s self-explanatory, we think. Just be careful not to cut yourself. And maybe get a babyproof one if you have young children in the house - gauze isn’t that hard to cut.
    6. Painkillers

    Worldwide, headaches and backaches are among the most common reasons why people miss a day of work - keep an appropriate medicine or spray handy.

    7. Pain reliever spray, gel or balm

    Pain can get in the way of a good night’s sleep. For muscle sprain and back pain, pain reliever spray, gel or balm can ease the discomfort immediately. Yes, you need the spray as well as the painkiller medicine.
    8. Antacid

    Indigestion is more common - and uncomfortable - than anyone would like. A sachet of Eno, a Digene tablet or antacid syrup can help if you’re at a pinch. Don’t make a habit of it, though. Antacids can harm the kidneys.

    9. Eyewash or artificial tears

    In case your eyes feel gritty or dry after a whole day of looking at the computer screen or because of the polluted air.
