When a burn occurs:
Do not cool the burn with ice, for extreme cold can kill as many skin cells as the blazing heat. Rather, cool the skin immediately with cold water, even if some of the skin has been burned. Pouring a cold liquid on the burn site limits damage to the surrounding tissues.
Sunstroke:
Heatstroke occurs after exposure to the sun for long periods, which leads to headache, fever (40-41) and vomiting, and it is noted that the skin is hot and dry, and hypotension and loss of consciousness may occur. Treatment is done in the hospital, and until the patient is transferred to the hospital, we put cold water or ice bags on him To avoid sunstroke, you must reduce working hours under the sun, put on protective hats, drink plenty of water, and it is preferable to eat some salt to compensate for the lost salt with sweating.
When ingesting alkali:
We fill the mouth with plenty of cold water, and give milk. Vomiting should not be induced because it increases the spread of harm. Laxatives and charcoal are given, and alkaline substances include: utensils and drain cleaners, and ammonia.
When swallowing acid:
We recommend washing the mouth and not inducing vomiting. He no longer resorts to diluting acids for fear of causing vomiting, just as he no longer resorts to modifying acids with light alkalis (such as milk) for fear of increasing the harm. Examples of acids are: battery liquids, metal detergents, industrial acids, and some water drain cleaners.
