from a fall? Minor injuries happen every day, and most are easy to treat at home. But to handle them quickly and calmly, you need to know what to do and have the right supplies.
Building a First Aid Kit
How do I make a first aid kit?
A well-stocked first aid kit is a must-have for treating minor injuries at home and on the go. You can buy a first aid kit or put one together on your own. Keep your supplies in a sturdy, clear plastic box so you can see what’s inside.
What should be in my first aid kit?
Adhesive tape
Alcohol wipes
Allergy medicine
Aloe vera gel
Antibiotic ointment
Bandages in different sizes
Calamine lotion
Cold packs
Elastic bandages
Gauze rolls and pads
Hand sanitizer (for your travel first aid kit)
Hydrocortisone cream
Latex-free gloves
Pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen
Saline wound wash
Scissors and tweezers
Where should I store my first aid kit?
You don’t want to go searching for supplies when there’s a minor accident to tend to. Your kit should be easy to find. But it should be kept in a high, childproof cabinet, far away from kids’ prying fingers. Keep one full-sized kit in a central spot at home, such as your kitchen or bathroom. Then put a smaller kit in your car or purse for when you’re on the road.
How often should I check my first aid kit?
Items can run out if you use them often, and medicines can expire if you rarely need them, so go through everything in your kit, and replace any empty or out-of-date items at least once a year.
Cuts and Scrapes
How do I treat a minor cut or scrape?
Follow these steps to keep cuts clean and prevent infections and scars.
Wash your hands. First, wash up with soap and water so you don’t get bacteria into the cut and cause an infection. If you’re on the go, use hand sanitizer.
Stop the bleeding. Put pressure on the cut with a gauze pad or clean cloth. Keep the pressure on for a few minutes.
Clean the wound. Once you’ve stopped the bleeding, rinse the cut under cool running water or use a saline wound wash. Clean the area around the wound with soap and a wet washcloth. Don’t get soap in the cut, because it can irritate the skin. And don’t use hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which could irritate the cut.
Remove any dirt or debris. Use a pair of tweezers cleaned with alcohol to gently pick out any dirt, gravel, glass, or other material in the cut.
