First Aid

I have a scorching sunburn on my chest, back, arms, and legs. I'm putting aloe on the burn but am looking for something that will help with the pain and stiffness so that I can be able to put clothes on and go back to work tomorrow.

I was picking up stuff on the beach and accidently picked up a tiny piece of rusty metal. My finger did bleed a bit, so whatever got in got flushed out. I had a tetanus shot last fall do I need another?

My daughter got stung by a wasp 3 days ago. She is not allergic, and had no immediate cause for concern since there was no signs of anaphalyxis. It stung her on the cheek just below her eye. It of course started swelling an hour later or so. The swelling went down, and all was good. The next morning, she woke up and it was swollen again. We have been giving her Benadryl and also motrin, and her eye looked even worse today. It doesnt bother her at all, it just looks ugly......she does say it itches some when the benadryl wears off. Has this ever happened to anyone else? How long do the side effects from a sting last? Its been 3 days, and like I said, it has not gone down at all. Of course Im gonna give the doc a call in the morning, but is this normal for the swelling to last this long? Any advice from experience would help. Thanks!

I was burning a candle and the wax dripped on my fringer. It left a water blister on my middle finger. It's not very big but I want it to go away. How can I get it to go away fastest? I know you can pop them but it's right on the bend and I didn't know if it would hurt too much or leave a nasty mark. How can I do it?

A few weeks ago I smashed my finger by a car door... It bled alot and the skin where the cuticle is fell..well just a piece, i didnt feel my finger for almost 4 hrs cause of the pain. I thought it would heal so i didnt see a doctor but now my nail is purple and there is a crack where the door hit (which is where the cuticle was) it also doesnt hurt anymore. Should I go to the doctor? What happens if I dont go?? can anything bad happen?

you can definitely feel a hard lump. but nothing is coming out of it except clear fluid. NOTHING!! i've had cellulitis before. I thought that is what it was at first. but it's definitely not. too many of the symptoms are missing for it to be that. it's right between my eyes!! boo-hoo. help??!

yes, I had them when i was little but i didn't know anything. Now im really scared because like 9/10 people said it hurt really bad and gave them a bruse. what did it feel like if you've had it.

oh, and does it help to breathe out slowly with your mouth almost shut barley letting any air out? someone told me that eases the pain. Please tall me anything and everything about it!!!!!

i have a re-occuring corneal abrasion. (the worst thing to have. very painful..) and sometimes my eye is very sensitive to the light and i need to wear an eyepatch for a few days.

do you think that it is embarrasing for a girl to wear an eyepatch??

thanks!

mouth to mouth is great in theory, but do you really want to put your mouth on someone else? I'm looking at the "Chest compressions only" theory...looks pretty good!

On my hiking trip in 2005, my hiking partner told me to use the washroom before going to sleep,otherwise my body will spend time concentrating on heating any urine in my bladder. I've also heard that coffee is a diuretic.Is it safe/recommended to give coffee to anyone sufferng from hypothermia?
