Medicine Cabinet Must-Haves

There have been many times when I’ve seen a promotional item or gadget and smacked my head thinking, “I sure wish I’d thought of that!” Here’s a great example – recently, I went to fill a prescription for my son who had a vicious ear infection. The pharmacy tech handed me the medication, which came in a liquid, along with a handy medicine spoon. “Just so you can measure out the right amount easily,” she explained. I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful this little spoon is! I pour out the medicine and it clearly shows me the right amount. And there are similar items out there that I have since discovered I need to keep in my medicine cabinet: the Take ‘N Go medicine spoon for when we hit the road for vacation or a weekend getaway and the forehead thermometer kit to take a temperature easily at any time of day or night. The really great thing about these items is that adults can use them, too. Plus, they pack up nicely in a travel kit. I recommend all health companies consider giving out these promotional items – they are inexpensive yet could be a lifesaver for a parent.
