It is important to keep your first aid kit and medicine cabinet stocked at home
Being prepared for common illnesses and injuries is really important. Make sure you have things like pain relief, such as paracetamol & ibuprofen, antihistamines, decongestants and cold and flu remedies, a thermometer, anti-diarrhoea tablets, oral hydration salts, indigestion remedies, alcohol free cleansing wipes, antiseptic cream or spray, plasters, sterile dressings and bandages at home so you can be ready if you or a family member need them.
