Quick thinking before a patient sees a doctor can make a difference.
Would you know what to do in these emergencies?

Cuts and scrapes
DO: Stop bleeding by gently applying pressure with a clean bandage. Rinse the wound with clear water, and remove any debris with sterilised tweezers. Then apply an antiseptic cream and cover with a bandage.
DON'T: Wait to seek medical advice if the bleeding continues. If the cut is more than 6mm deep, stitches may be required.

Knocked-out tooth
DO: Cover the tooth with milk or saliva, and head straight to your dentist or doctor as the tooth may be reimplanted. 
DON'T: Handle the tooth by the root or scrub it clean.

 

Minor burns
Firstly, determine the degree of the burn. If the outer layer of skin is burnt, it’s a first-degree burn. Second-degree burns are when the second layer is also burnt and you get severe pain and swelling. If the burn is larger than 7cm, get medical help.

DO: Cool the burn using cold running water, or cool the area with a cold compress. Then use a gauze bandage to loosely cover the burnt area, to protect it and reduce the pain.
DON'T: Use ice, butter or any other greasy product on the burn, and don’t pop blisters.
