We all get our fair share of cuts, scrapes, and insect bites everyday. Our kids especially, because of their curiosity and activeness. But we only go to the doctor for treatment of major injuries. For minor ones, it is better if we know a little of first aid and home remedies.
For insect bites, apply cold treatment immediately to alleviate the swelling. Take pain reliever if the person feels pain. Apply calamine lotion to alleviate itching. In cases of fainting due to insect bites, bring the patient to the emergency room.
For cuts and scrapes, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water. Use over the counter hydrogen peroxide or betadine to flush out bacteria in the wound to prevent further infection. Cover with bandaid.
