Why aren’t there any medications included in Little Care Kits?
We’d love to include a few frequently needed children’s medications in Little Care Kits; however, none are sold in single-dose packages the way many adult medications are. If you’d like to add medications to your Little Care Kit, the following products are especially easy to pack for on-the-go!

- Tip: Honey Packets – (already included in medium and large Little Care Kits) – Studies indicate that honey can work as well as or better than traditional cough medications for children, without the risk of side effects. Honey can also reduce the risk of esophageal damage in cases of button battery ingestion (do not delay in seeking emergency medical attention)!
