How to deal with Bleeding Cuts or Wounds ?😢😢😢
<h4>Stop Bleeding</h4> Apply direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue, or piece of gauze until bleeding stops If blood soaks through the material, don’t remove it. Put more cloth or gauze on top of it and continue to apply pressure. If the wound is on the arm or leg, raise limb above the heart, if possible, to help slow bleeding. Wash your hands again after giving first aid and before cleaning and dressing the wound. Do not apply a tourniquet unless the bleeding is severe and not stopped with direct pressure. <h4>Clean Cut or Wound</h4> Gently clean with soap and warm water. Try to rinse soap out of wound to prevent irritation. Don’t use hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which can damage tissue. <h4>Protect the Wound</h4> Apply antibiotic cream to reduce risk of infection and cover with a sterile bandage. Change the bandage daily to keep the wound clean and dry. <h4>When to Call a Doctor</h4> The wound is deep or the edges are jagged or gaping open The wound is on the person’s face. The wound has dirt or debris that won’t come out. The wound shows signs of infection, such as redness, tenderness, or a thick discharge, or if the person runs a fever. The area around the wound feels numb. Red streaks form around the wound. The wound is a result of an animal or human bite. The person has a puncture wound or deep cut and hasn’t had a tetanus shot in the past five years, or anyone who hasn’t had a tetanus shot in the past 10 years.
