Our home is our fortress. It is a place to feel protected and safe. We dedicate a lot of energy to furnish it and keep it in order. But when something unexpected happens to us, we are not always ready to remedy it. Indeed, how many times has it happened that with a sudden attack of stomach ache or with the temperature high, we are forced to take a run to the pharmacy. Natural remedies do not always give an immediate result. Play early and keep your locker stocked with medications to use as needed (and due care). Also remember the ones that can be a real life saver.
Now let’s see which are the 6 drugs to keep absolutely at home in view of a possible lockdown
In addition to specific drugs for any pathologies, it is essential that there are medicines that can help in other cases.
Fever and flu
Especially with the cold just around the corner, the risk of catching the flu is high. So better be prepared! Get an anti-fever medicine with acetaminophen (Tachipirina or similar). Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) also has antipyretic and analgesic power, as well as being an anti-inflammatory.
Sunburn
They are quite frequent in the home. You must have a remedy ready to relieve the pain caused by a few splashes of hot oil or a sunburn after prolonged exposure to the sun. An anesthetic ointment, such as Foille or similar, should always be kept at home.
Allergy
About a quarter of the Italian population suffers from allergies of various severities. From those to pollen, with a runny nose, to food allergies, which can cause anaphylactic shock. Even if you are not allergic, be aware that you may eventually develop one, even in severe form, in adulthood. Having a home remedy can save your life. Get an antihistamine and corticosteroid to keep at home (Bentelan or similar).
Headache, periodic and rheumatic pains
For these problems we can use the same drugs we bought for flu and fever. If the pains are very severe, a medicine with ibuprofen is particularly relieving.
Cuts and wounds
Hydrogen peroxide or other disinfectants on the market are absolutely to be kept at home. Remember that even if the product is not expired, but has been opened for some time, it loses its effectiveness. Better to have a spare!
Diarrhea and constipation
On days when your gut is “rowing against you,” make sure you have a remedy on hand. In the pharmacy there are many medicines and natural solutions for this type of problem.
In addition to the 6 drugs to be kept absolutely at home in view of a possible lockdown, here are their auxiliaries!
Also buy some gauze, sterile syringes, patches and a thermometer. While in the freezer there must be an ice bag, to be extracted if necessary.
Remember to keep all medications out of the reach of children. In addition, it is important to check the expiration date and throw the expired ones into the appropriate bins.
