A well-stocked home medicine cabinet can save you from a lot of stress during minor health emergencies. Here are five must-have items we recommend:

• Paracetamol: For fever, body aches, and minor pain.

• Antihistamines: Help with allergies, insect bites, or rashes.

• Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS): For dehydration due to vomiting or diarrhea.

• Antiseptic Cream/Solution: To clean and treat minor wounds or cuts.

• Thermometer: A basic tool to monitor fever quickly and accurately.

Keep these on hand — but remember, always follow dosage instructions or ask a pharmacist before using any medication.
