Okay, when you're performing triage and you see multiple victims tagged as immediate, do you help those unconcious or concious (both with similar injuries) first?

I'd only like answers from healthcare proffessionals, and/or anyone with qualifications HIGHER that Standard First Aid and CPR C.

I fainted twice yesterday, and i know i hit my head pretty hard on a wood deck the second time i fainted, but i dont know if i hit my head the first time, because no one saw it happen. But now my head is killing me and it doesnt hurt in the back were i hit it, it hurts in the front on my forehead. I also feel tired, and a little nausious...i dont feel like i have to throw up or anything, but i can barley open my eyes. Could i have a concussion?

My eye balls started to hurt about three days ago. This would last for a few minutes and then go away. Today it seems to have gotten much worse. It's been at least 3 hours now that they've been hurting and it's getting so bad that I'm seriously considering leaving work for the day. I'll try to describe the symptoms:

- Burning.
- Achy.
- Eyes aren't dry, doesn't feel like allergies.
- No discoloring of the eye.
- No swelling.
- No known contact with an irritant.
- Feeling of pressure behind the eyes.
- Hurts enough to make you wanna cry a little.

Any ideas?

I have tried Excedrine, Advil, Tylenol, Motrin. Nothing seems to work. I think the only thing I have not tried is Headon. Does it actually work to relieve the pain?

My daughter is 11 months old, she has a well baby check in august. When she was born she had some abdominal swelling so they checked her and saw a dark spot in her intestines. they tranfered her to st.vincent nicu to check her closer. After she got there they checked her and diddnt see what our hospital saw, so she stayed a few days and they sent her home. She seemed to be fine. When she started eating baby foods she seemed to get a huge appetite. she wanted to eat ALL the time. She pooped all the time too (like 4-8 times a day) she got sick and her appetite waned. afterwards she ate what i feel is a normal amount and stoped pooping as much. then she got some fresh strawberries about 2 weeks ago and wound up with hives for4 days. then on monday she started throwing up her formula(the same thing shes been on since 2 months old) she has had watery diareah ever since.
