View this post on Instagram BASIC FIRST AID KIT ⛑️ by A Dr. Mom: 👩⚕️ Every home needs to have a first aid kit, if not comprehensive atleast a basic one. In this post let me share a few basic essentials in a first aid box at home, especially for kids. 1️⃣ Have a box that will hold all the things at one place. 2️⃣ Always check the expiry date of the medicines periodically and replace. 3️⃣Keep a list of emergency numbers in the box like your doctor's number/ hospital's number 4️⃣it's important to customise the first aid kit knowing the medical history of every family member. In case of bronchial asthma, allergies etc special medicines need to be kept after discussing with your doctor.
