Health Tip: Keep a First Aid Kit in the Car

You probably have a host of first aid supplies at home, but what about in your car?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says you should store these essentials in your vehicle:

• A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication such as ibuprofen, or acetaminophen.
• A tube of antibiotic ointment.
• An assortment of sterile adhesive bandages and gauze pads.
• A supply of your prescription medications.
• Hypoallergenic adhesive tape, soap and some moistened towelettes.
• Scissors, tweezers and a thermometer.
• Petroleum jelly.
