Keep these items in your home medical kit

Three categories of items are essential

Household medical kits should usually include three types of items: emergency medicine, emergency items, and emergency tools.

Emergency medicine is divided into emergency medicine and related medical equipment.

Emergency medicines should usually include fever-reducing painkillers, anti-cold medicines, anti-diarrhea drugs, cough and phlegm drugs for the elderly and children, first-aid drugs such as heart-saving pills, and prescription drugs that are appropriately stocked according to the physical condition of family members. Prescription drugs should be used and stocked under the guidance of a professional doctor.

Related medical appliances often include: disinfection appliances, such as alcohol wipes, iodophor, etc., which can initially disinfect and sterilize wounds; Medical materials such as gauze, scarves, band-aids, bandages, can be simply bandaged. Families with elderly and children can also stock up on an appropriate amount of medical elastic bandages. In the event of major disasters such as fires and earthquakes, the elderly and children may be more vulnerable. Compared with ordinary bandages, elastic bandages have a better effect on fixing wound dressings and restricting limb movement, and are more conducive to wound healing.

In terms of emergency supplies, drinking water, food, important documents and related information can be added to the inventory list. To ensure the supply of drinking water, bottled water should be chosen as much as possible, and compressed biscuits with a long shelf life should be selected. Important documents include family members' identification information, medical history that needs to be emphasized and other relevant treatment information. Emergency items can also be selected according to daily needs, but in general, they should be easy to store and carry as the main principle.

In terms of emergency tools, masks, escape tools, distress contact tools and survival rescue tools. You can bring your own thick towel, water and wet your mouth and nose in the event of a fire, and avoid inhaling thick smoke; You can also bring your own raincoat, which can not only cover the wind and rain, but also play a role in keeping out the cold at night to avoid colds and fevers caused by cold.

It should be regularly sorted out and replaced for half a year

Medical kits contain a lot of emergency supplies, which means they may not be commonly used in everyday life. Since there are medicines in the box, we should keep them in a cool, dry place. If the drug is individually packaged, it can be replaced regularly according to the shelf life, if it is not individually packaged, once the drug is opened, its validity period will be greatly reduced, in other words, it should be replaced in advance if it is not covered by the shelf life, otherwise it will affect the efficacy. Non-disposable liquid drugs, such as iodophor, eye drops, etc., are valid for about one month after opening; Non-individually packaged solid drugs have a slightly longer expiration date after opening, but it is also recommended to use up or replace unopened new drugs within 3-6 months.

In addition to medicines, masks, cotton swabs and other medical materials that filter viruses, disinfect and sterilize, if not individually packaged, are also recommended to be replaced once opened within 3-6 months. Therefore, the medical aid kit should be sorted out and replaced at least once every six months. It should also be as close as possible to it, preferably placed next to the bed or in a conspicuous place in the house, not recommended deep in the cabinet, in the bed box, etc.
