What is the first aid knowledge for common diseases?

Although we all don’t want ourselves or our family or friends to get sick or have accidents, some accidents can happen at any time. At this time, if we can master some common sense of first aid and actively take corresponding measures, we don’t need to go to the hospital for minor problems, and major problems can often be avoided because of timely rescue, thus avoiding some heartbreaking things. Below are some first aid measures for some common problems introduced by the editor. Friends who like it can collect it!

Nosebleeds

Tilt your head back when you have a nosebleed, not only will it fail to stop the bleeding, but it will cause the blood to be inhaled into your mouth and respiratory tract. The correct way is to pinch the nostrils on both sides with your fingers for 4 to 8 minutes, or use a cotton ball soaked in ice water to pack the nasal cavity to compress and stop the bleeding. If these methods still cannot stop the bleeding, you should go to the hospital immediately.

Drunk

For those who are slightly drunk, you can let them drink strong tea as a diuretic to speed up the excretion of alcohol. For those who are severely drunk, you can let them drink vinegar and press the root of their tongue with your fingers to induce vomiting to reduce the absorption of alcohol. If the above treatment is not effective, the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Heat stroke

People with mild to moderate heatstroke should be quickly moved to a cool and ventilated place to lie down and rest, take off or unbutton their clothes, and wipe their body with a cold towel to quickly lower their body temperature. People who suffer from heatstroke can drink some cool salt water or cool salty drinks. If the patient becomes unconscious or has convulsions, he or she should be sent to the hospital immediately.

Sunburn

When going out in the summer, you should take protective measures, such as applying sunscreen and holding a parasol. When the skin is sunburned and becomes red, swollen and painful, you can apply a cold towel to the affected area and apply some moisturizing cream appropriately. If there are blisters on the skin, do not pick them open. See a doctor to avoid secondary infection.

Calf cramps while swimming

If calf cramps occur in the water, you should immediately go ashore, sit down with your legs straight, grab your big toe with your hand and pull it back, and massage your calf muscles. If you cannot get ashore immediately, you should stay calm, hold your breath, and do the above actions in the water.

The five accidents introduced above may be encountered frequently in our lives. If we master the first aid measures for these problems, we don’t have to be too nervous once they occur and we can easily handle them ourselves. Especially when leg cramps occur while swimming, if they are not relieved in time, they may be life-threatening.
