First aid box essentials for toddlers

[2020newmum]

What first aid stuff from do you pack when taking a 17 month old toddler on holiday?

So far I’ve got Calpol, thermometer, Anbesol (he’s teething ATM).

Any other suggestions?

Snufflebabes

Plasters and antiseptic wipes.

Ive just made a 1st aid box with my 17mo in mind. From memory, I have - Ibuprufen, calpol, anbesol, Piriton (you can get it in syrup for little ones), plasters, anti septic wipes, steri strips.

Thermometer.

Just seen that you've said thermometer, sorry.

Eye bath

my dc are past toddler age but I used to have:
liquid paracetamol and ibuprofen
an antihistamine
plasters and antibacterial ointment
emla cream (for taking blood and splinters)
tweezers

Burn gel - you can get it in sachets which are perfect for a little first aid kit. Absolutely brilliant stuff, I’ve used it on myself before.

Bite/sting cream.

I know it's seen as an over reaction but I keep a trauma bandage in the car just in case.

Sudacrem

Where do you get them from? I need some.

Nurofen. Nurofen is better for teething. If you are travelling by plane then take individual sachets.

I know it's not first aid but I also add my little ones multi vitamins, probiotic powder, dioralyte sachets and anti sickness tablets along with calpol, ibuprofen, thermometer, plasters, anti septic wipes, burn cream, calpol nasal spray and baby rub ointment.

Whats baby run ointment?

rub

Germoline or the like?

If taking calpol bottle rather than sachets, a measuring spoon

A few nappy sacks for rubbish / dirty wipes, plasters etc?

Travel sickness pills! I needed them for every journey over 30 mins!

I also remember my wee cousin screaming unless she got some colic medicine too, infacol or something. That might just be for babies though.

Whats baby run ointment?

Could it Vicks BabyRub?

Arnica
Sterimar spray
