What should be in a first-aid kit?
While it may be tempting to purchase whatever first-aid kit is on clearance at the local big box store, not all first-aid kits are made alike. A good first-aid kit will cover the spectrum of injuries-burns, cuts, bruises, insect bites, splinters, scrapes, etc.-and include high-quality components. First-aid kits that have been sitting around the store shelf for a while may contain expired medications or ointments.

Here are some important medicines, creams or ointments that will be included in a good first-aid kit:
- Antibiotic cream
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Hydrocortisone cream
- Calamine lotion
- Antihistamine
- Ibuprofen
- Acetaminophen
- Alcohol (wipes for the purse or car)
- Antiseptic (cream or spray)
- Kaopectate® or Pepto-Bismol®
