What are they called?

When you put medicines (sometimes called drugs), plasters (band‑aids) and a thermometer together, you can call them medical supplies or first‑aid items. They are the things grown-ups use to help when someone is hurt or sick.

Examples

• Medicine: helps make you feel better when you have a cough or a fever (always given by an adult).
• Plaster (band‑aid): covers a small cut or scrape to keep it clean.
• Thermometer: checks if your body is too hot (has a fever).

Why we use them

They help stop hurt from getting worse and help people feel better. Many of these things live in a first‑aid kit or medicine box.

Important safety tips

• Always ask a grown‑up before taking any medicine.
• Let an adult put plasters on if the cut is big or dirty.
• If the thermometer shows a high temperature, tell an adult right away.

So, the short name for all of them together is "medical supplies" or "first‑aid items."
