First Aid guide

The first aids, as it is called; "first" means that it is not a cure or a replacement to the treatment provided by an expert. Rather, many of us had been in situations that needed first aids, this article is to help you in some of these cases …
I couldn't bring it all in one article so this can be considered a mini-guide, I have brought the most common cases:

A quick tip: in case of dangerous injuries or emergencies, unless you were sure about what you are doing, don't do it and wait for the expert.
Always stay calm and never give up; stay with the injured till the help arrives even if you just talked to distract him/her.

Sprains:
This is very common among guys especially during playing football or other kinds of sports.
If so, apply and remove ice every 20 minutes for 4 – 8 times at the first day, use compression bandage and avoid walking on it for 24 hours, after that put hot water on it so that blood would flow in the area.

Burns:
Girls can get burns easily in the kitchen, but that's not the only reason. Being exposed to intense sunlight can do that, among many other things.
Firstly you must know that burns have 3 degrees:
first-degree makes skin red
second-degree causes blisters
the third degree, which is the most dangerous one can result in broken or blackened skin.

What about the third degree burns?
It is the most dangerous one, it can be fatal, you need to call the hospital at once, some times cloth burn and stick to the burned area DO NOT even think of removing them, only experts can remove the burned cloth.
If the victim is conscious, allow them to drink all the water they desire. 

Sun Burns are a little bit different:

what you need to do is get away from the sun, and take a cool bath. AVOID using oils, bath salts, or perfumes and AVOID scrubbing or shaving. Stay away from the sun and cover the exposed area. You may contact the pharmacy to ask about sunburn creams or lotions.

BEE Stings:
Bees sometimes leave a stinger in the skin, you need to gently scrape it out then clean the site with water and 

soap. You should do it several times a day; put ice or cool wet towel on the inflamed area and repeat after every 10 minutes.
You can apply a gentle cream to prevent itching, but you need to call the pharmacist or doctor to take his advice first.

Other famous injuries are BRUISES:

apply cold compress, from half an hour to one hour at a time, but DON'T apply ice directly on skin. Try to avoid using the bruised part and AVOID draining bruises by using needles.

The last I will talk about is FAINTING:

fainting should always be considered an emergency until its proven otherwise. When a person feels faint, you need to make them sit or lie down; if sitting, make the position head between knees. If the person faints, position him on his back and make sure the airways are clear. Hold the feel above the head level. Patient should become okay within minutes; if not, you need to seek medical help.

Finally, you always need to keep a list with emergency phone numbers, the ambulance, hospital, police department, fire department, 24-hour pharmacy and any doctors or consultants that you may call.

If you found this helpful you may wait for our next issue, we will talk about bleeding nose, electric shocks, cuts and wounds with all their degrees, toothaches, chocking and muchother stuff.
