    Check Up On Your Basic First-Aid Knowledge

    Would you know what to do in an emergency? Or could you be making the situation worse?

    23 January 2015

    Accidents can happen at any time – especially, with young kids around the house. But, you can come to the rescue by remembering these tips in one of these situations:

    BEE STING
    If you are not allergic to insect bites, scrape the sting out of the skin with the back of your fingernail or a credit card. Do not use tweezers – you may cause more poison to enter the wound. Relieve pain by applying calamine lotion or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water. Get medical help immediately if you have difficulty breathing or there is any swelling of the face and tongue.

    NOSEBLEED
    Tilting your head back encourages the blood to run down the back of the throat, which could cause vomiting. Pinch the tip of your nose. It is more effective than pinching the bridge.

    BURN
    Place the burned area under cold running water for 10 minutes. Then wrap it in a clean, non-fluffy, sterile cloth to reduce the risk of infection.
