First aid for other injuries

Small cuts

  • Wash the cut in cold water to clean it and stop the bleeding. Dry well with a clean cloth and cover it with sticky plaster to keep it clean.

Serious cuts

  • Press the wound hard with a clean handkerchief, tissue or your hands to reduce the bleeding.
  • Put the wound higher than the rest of your body to lessen the flow of blood.
  • Find or call someone to help you.

Splinters

  • Sterilize tweezers or a needle in the blue part of a flame.
  • Make sure you get all the splinter out.
  • Then clean the wound with antiseptic liquid and cover it with sticky plaster.

Bruises

  • Wash with cold water to reduce bruising and swelling.
  • A bruised fingernail may go black. If very painful, see a doctor.
  • Blood blisters should be left to dry up, not popped.
