So we’ve got the basics (Tylenol, ibuprophen, etc), but it seems like the whole family is sick this week.
What medicine/remedies are useful to keep on hand just in case (as the pharmacy is quite far)? 💊 🍵

Burn dressings.
Seriously, this is the one piece of “real” first aid stuff (as opposed to the acetaminophen and bandaids I also keep in mine) that I’ve needed to use enough to replenish them. I’ve used my gauze roll once, when I absolutely shredded my hand by stupidly breaking a ceramic bowl in half. Never had to use my tourniquets and hopefully never will.
I recommend Burnshield Hydrogel dressings. They don’t just stop the damage from getting worse, I can tell you from experience that if you use them right they can even prevent the blistering from 2nd degree burns.
If you ever get hydrocodone after a surgery, add that to your kit, for emergencies.
Thanks! I’ll add that to the list. Bandaids aren’t enough for big cuts sometimes.
Hydrocodone for general strong pain relief or is it for something specific?
Just strong pain relief.
