You can help yourself by always being prepared to any accident or emergency around the home. A basic kit would contain paracetemol mixture for young children, cough linctus, vapour rub, sticking plasters, antiseptic solution and cream, calamine lotion, 3 inch crepe bandage, cotton wool, thermometer and tweezers. Please be careful with any allergies with over the counter medicines. You can also get good advice from your local pharmacy and NHS 111 service if needed.
