First Aid

I was in band today and I play the clarinet. I had my reed in my mouth, and it either gave me a splinter or it cut my tongue. My tongue is red and hurts on the side where i cut/got a splinter in it. How can you tell if it is a cut or a splinter? What should I do if it is a cut and if it is a splinter, how can I get it out?

My 13 month old son has a red, swollen eyebrow and eyelid. At first I thought he had bumped his eye on something as he is always falling, but it's been there since Sat. and isn't getting any better. I was thinking if it were from him bumping it that it would have turned black/blue by now. I'm worried it's a spider bite.
Does anyone have any experiences with spider or other insect bites that you can tell me?
The earliest the doc can see him is tomorrow afternoon, so I was just wanting some opinions/experiences that other people have had. Thanks.

If you find someone laying supine and the have vomit in their mouth. What is the first thing you do, open the airway or suction the vomit out? I am confused, I was always taught to open the airway (ABC), but if you open the airway first, can't you cause aspiration to happen.

I noticed a spider bite Wednesday morning on my thigh. Didnt think much of it. Thursday morning I woke up with one on the bottom of my bottom. They both looked like normal spider bites. The ones that itch a little then go away. Friday I woke up and they were both swollen pretty bad and hurt. I went to a doc Friday afternoon. She perscribed me antibiotics-CEPHALEXIN-. It is now Sunday and they both still look awful. I think the one on my thigh is getting worse. Should I ride the antibiotic highway and wait or should I go have someone else look at it. I have been putting-ICHTHAMMOL OINTMENT 20%- on it. Brought out a glob of pus and blood the 1st time but nothing the 2nd time. All serious answers appreciated. Thank You!!!
