For burns

For small burns, clean the affected area with cool

running water or apply an ice pack.

Apply an antiseptic cream or lotion on the burnt

area. In case of a serious burn, take the burnt

person to a hospital immediately.

For fainting

If someone faints, make them lie down with their

head lower than their body level. This increases the

blood flow to the brain allowing them to regain their

consciousness faster.

Sprinkle cold water on the face of the person and

loosen the clothing.

For insect bites

Apply ice on the affected area to reduce burning and pain.

Apply antiseptic cream or lotion over the affected area.

Insect bites or stings are quite painful. If there is itching all over the body and

difficulty in breathing, go to the hospital.

For nose bleeding

Make the person sit on a chair with his head forward.

Apply a wet cloth or an ice pack on the bridge of the

nose. If the bleeding does not stop, go to the doctor

immediately.
