*Small plastic dosing cups and an oral syringe for children. *Electrolyte solution for diarrhea in infants and children. *Pepto-Bismol. *Hydrocortisone cream for rashes. *Calamine lotion for insect bites and poison ivy. *Antibiotic ointment for wounds. HERE ARE A FEW OTHER TIPS ON FIRST AID KITS: *Keep your thermometer(s) in your first aid kit. You will always know where it is! *Keep personal emergency medicines (such as Epi-Pens or emergency inhalers) in your kit. Make sure you have a spare for outings, though. Label each with the name of the individual for which the medicine is intended. *Write down the expiration dates of all the medicines in your kit. Replace items as they expire. *Keep your first aid kit in an accessible location, but out of the reach of curious little hands! Taking the time now to create a well-stocked first aid kit means you will have everything you need right at your fingertips in the event of an emergency.
