1. Pain Relievers

Who knows when pain will strike? It could be a headache or a nasty backache that completely ruins the day. However those cramps sneak in, the right pain reliever stops them in their tracks. Even something as simple as Tylenol could rescue you in a pinch.

2. Allergy Medication

Ah, the flowers are blooming and the sun is in the sky—too bad you can’t enjoy any of it! Drippy noses and watery eyes zap all the life out of our precious summertime, but you won’t have to worry about that with allergy medication on hand.

3. Bandages

Self-adhesive bandages are the way to go, though they’re hardly the only first aid staple. If you really want to be prepared, grab gauze and sterile pads, too. Bandages don’t expire either, so you don’t need to worry about them passing any dates.

4. Digital Thermometer

High fevers are no joke—they’re often a common indicator that something’s wrong, and you want to keep an eye on the numbers. Digital thermometers let you monitor any scary results and alert you when it’s time to go to the doctor.

5. Antacids

Delicious meals usually come with unbuckled belts and sighs of relief, but they can also bring on heartburn. Forget about chest pain or abdominal discomfort; antacids give you the relief you need to enjoy your food.
