- Antacid
- Antibacterial gel for washing hands without water
- Antibacterial ointment
- Antidiarrheal medicine
- Antihistamine or allergy medicine

I try to keep a first aid kit in my car's compartment as well as an alcohol pad and bandage in my purse. You never know when it might come handy.

For travel, I also keep Visine, a travel-size bottle of tear-free baby wash and a shake-and-squeeze cold pack. Also, I clearly mark on the top and bottom of the bottle my child's name on the children's pain reliever and a big "NO" on the adult's.
