Here is some advice for dealing with common injuries and health problems: It is only necessary to wash the area of the cut, dry it and cover it with a piece of dry clean cloth.

Place the burned or scalded part in cold water to cool the area of skin at once. Put a piece of dry clean cloth over the area of the burn. Do not put any oil or ointment on it. See a doctor if a child has been burned or if more than 10% of the body has been burned.

Animal bites If you are bitten by a dog, wash the bite under cold running water and bandage it. Then see a doctor as soon as possible. The person bitten by a snake must go to a doctor or hospital at once. Speed is very important. It will help the doctor greatly if you can tell him what kind of snake it was, or describe it.

A little bleeding does no harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or until help arrives. A nearly drowned person will have his lung full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body, so that the water will drain out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers or by hitting him on the back.
