A first aid kit is a small bag containing first aid medicines, sterilized gauze, bandages, etc., and is a rescue item used in an emergency when people have accidents. According to different environments and different objects of use, it can be divided into different categories. For example, according to different objects of use, it can be divided into household first aid kits, outdoor first aid kits, car first aid kits, earthquake first aid kits, etc.

Next, Chfine Case will talk to you about the home first aid kit.

Expert: It is recommended that the family medicine box be equipped with 7 types of medicines

1. Cardiovascular emergency medicine. Including Nitroglycerin, Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, Shexiang Baoxin Pills, Fufang Danxin Dripping Pills, etc. In an emergency, one tablet of nitroglycerin can be taken under the tongue. Now there is a new type of spray for nitroglycerin, which is more convenient. Suxiao Jiuxin Pills contain 4~6 capsules under the tongue.

2. Surgical medicines. Including small scissors, hemostatic stickers, sterile gauze, bandages, hemostatic stickers are used to stop bleeding in small wounds, and gauze and bandages should be used for larger wounds. In addition, Aneriodine, Bactobang, Scalding Ointment, Yunnan Baiyao Spray, etc. are used to treat trauma. However, it should be noted that once the wound bleeds or becomes infected, seek medical attention in time. Small and deep wounds and animal bites should be treated in a hospital in time to prevent tetanus or other special infections.

3. Cold medicine. The family medicine box should be equipped with 1 or 2 kinds of cold medicines, such as Ganmao antipyretic granules, quick-acting cold capsules, Baijiahei, Baifuning, etc. Read the instructions carefully before taking it, especially do not mix multiple cold medicines to avoid drug superposition effects. In addition, it is not recommended to equip antibiotics in the family medicine box. Antibiotics are prescription drugs and have certain side effects, so they should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Digestive system drugs. Including Yimengding, Zhixiening, Smecta, Laba Zhenglu Pills, Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, etc. These medicines can treat non-infectious diarrhea. Once infectious diarrhea is suspected, it is recommended to seek medical attention. Frequent vomiting, especially hematemesis and blood in the stool, should be sent to the hospital immediately.

5. Antiallergic drugs. In case of allergies, skin redness, rash after eating seafood, or being touched by caterpillars, antihistamines such as Claritin, Astemizole, and Chlorpheniramine can be used, but Chlorpheniramine has strong side effects such as drowsiness.

6. Analgesics. Such as aspirin, piridone, Tylenol, Fenbid, etc., can relieve headache, joint pain, low back pain, muscle pain and other symptoms.

7. Antihypertensive drugs. Such as Norvasc, Kaibotong, Monol, Bisoprolol, Cozaar, etc., but the above are prescription drugs and should be used under the guidance of a doctor. What needs to be reminded is that hypertensive patients should do a good job in self-management of chronic diseases, remember to take medicine at home, and don’t forget to bring medicine when going on business trips or outings.

The medicines in the family first aid kit should be checked and replaced regularly, preferably every 3 to 6 months, and equipped with a first aid manual. In addition, symptoms are only one of the basis for disease diagnosis. One symptom may be the manifestation of multiple diseases. Random medication may cover up symptoms, or even misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Drugs should be used after a clear diagnosis.
