This first aid kit can be used several different ways in an emergency situation including, but not limited to the following:

•First aid manual: The manual will instruct on how to treat wounds, sprains, bites and other common health issues. The guide should be studied, and everyone with access to the kit should know the basics of first aid.•Tweezers: Tweezers can be used to remove debris such as glass, dirt or splinters from a wound and can also be used to remove stingers left behind by bees.•Alcohol swabs: Alcohol swabs are used to clean the infected or wounded area before antibiotic ointment or bandages are placed on the area. Alcohol swabs may also be used to sterilize tweezers. •Antibiotic ointment: Antibiotic ointments can be used to treat many types of conditions and will aid in the proper healing of the wound area. Antibiotic ointments also help to keep infection out of the wound. •Bandages: Adhesive bandages protect the cut from friction, bacteria, damage, or dirt. Adhesive bandages in multiple sizes should be part of a first aid kit. •Gauze pads: Adhesive bandages aren't always large enough to cover a wound, which is why it's important to have gauze pads in a first aid kit. Gauze pads to can be formed into a bandage or used to absorb blood. •Medical tape: Medical tape is used to secure gauze pads or wraps when they are being used as a bandage. •Elastic bandage: Elastic bandages help keep a sprained joint immobile and reduce swelling. Elastic bandages come with either hook-and-loop or metal fasteners to keep them in place. Elastic bandages can be put on ankles, knees, wrists and elbows until a visit to the doctor can be arranged. •Pain relievers: These will come in handy when treating a deep wound or scrape and can also be used to relieve minor aches and pains.•Instant cold pack: Used to prevent swelling. A one-time, instant-use cold pack doesn’t become cold until the seal on the packaging is broken and the material inside is activated. Cold packs of this type are ideal for basic first aid kits because they don't require refrigeration.

Treatment of burns, cuts, stings, splinters, sprains, fever, and allergies
