Accidents don’t wait for the perfect moment. Whether it’s a burn in the kitchen, a fall at the playground, or a choking emergency at dinner, knowing basic First Aid can make all the difference in protecting your loved ones. Are you ready to respond when it matters most?
Common Household Emergencies & How to Handle Them
? Burns & Scalds – Cool the area with running water for 10-20 minutes, avoid ice, and cover with a clean dressing.
? Choking – Perform back blows and abdominal thrusts for children, and modified techniques for infants.
? Severe Allergic Reactions – Recognize signs of anaphylaxis (swelling, difficulty breathing) and administer an EpiPen if available.
? Cuts & Bleeding – Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth, elevate the wound, and use bandages to prevent infection.
? Poisoning – If a child ingests household chemicals, medications, or toxic plants, call Poison Control immediately.
