Kids' first aid kit
A home first aid kit for your child: what to keep on hand for fever, colds, bumps and stomach bugs. Agree contents and doses with your pediatrician.

[ ] Children's fever reducer — two different active ingredients
    Syrup and suppositories with different active ingredients: suppositories save the day with vomiting or syrup refusal. Which ones and what doses — ask your pediatrician.
[ ] Digital thermometer
    Fast and unbreakable. Keep a spare battery nearby — it always dies on a fever night.
[ ] Saline drops or spray + nasal aspirator
    First response to a stuffy nose at any age. For kids too young to blow their nose, the aspirator is essential.
[ ] Pediatric oral rehydration salts
    The top priority with vomiting and diarrhea is preventing dehydration. Pediatric formulas taste milder and go down easier.
[ ] Sorbent for stomach upsets
    For food poisoning — as agreed with your doctor. Ask your pediatrician which form suits your child.
[ ] Age-appropriate antihistamine
    For allergic reactions — food, bites, pollen. Discuss the specific medicine and dose with your pediatrician in advance.
[ ] Alcohol-free antiseptic
    No sting means the child lets you clean the scrape without a fight.
[ ] Cartoon plasters
    They beat any persuasion: the scrape is 'healed' the moment the plaster goes on. Get assorted sizes.
[ ] Gauze bandage, sterile pads, elastic wrap
    Basic dressing supplies for bike falls and other adventures.
[ ] Gel for bruises and insect bites
    A children's cooling gel for bruises and itchy bites. Confirm it fits your child's age with the doctor.
[ ] Dosing syringe or measuring spoon
    Accurate dosing plus a way to get medicine into a resisting toddler. A kitchen spoon is not a measure.
[ ] Doctor's dosing sheet — taped inside the kit
    Ask your pediatrician to write out weight-based doses and update after each weigh-in. Nobody can do math during a 3am fever — the sheet solves it.
[ ] Write down numbers: pediatrician, urgent care, poison control
    On the same sheet and in your phone. The time to find the poison control number is before you need it.
[ ] Your child's regular medicines — with a reserve
    If your child takes anything regularly, keep a reserve and watch the expiry date.
[ ] Store it out of the child's reach
    Top shelf or a locked box. Bright syrups look like lemonade to a child — a common cause of poisoning.
[ ] Set a reminder: audit the kit every six months
    Toss expired items, restock what ran out, update doses for the new weight.
[ ] Burn relief
    Panthenol spray for minor burns — after cooling with water first. Check with the doctor what suits your child.
