Burns and scalds:
Use a piece of wet clothing to minimize the damage on the skin. The victim should be in a comfortable position. Keep assuring the victim until the professional help arrives.

Sprains:
Applying ice blocks, you can help people with sprains. If the swelling doesn’t improve, specialized care will be required.

Diarrhoea:
Diarrhoea leads to rapid dehydration. The primary target would be to rehydrate the person who is suffering. Anti-diarrhoea medication is helpful in this case.

CPR:
Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to help someone with breathing. Necessary training would be helpful in understanding CPR.

Trauma
The casualty must remain as still as possible if an injury from fall results in trauma.

Checking ABC
(Airway, Breathing, Circulation):
ABC refers to the priorities in a first aid situation. While dealing with unconscious people, we have to keep their airways open. For those who are breathing, put them in recovery positions. Air circulation is also a key matter for the casualties.

Necessary supplies should be close at hand. You’ll require bandages, gauzes, thermometer, cotton wool, antacid, scissors etc.
First aid can’t be the conclusive care for most of the people you are helping. Make sure that you call the ambulance on time and wait for the professionals.

Many chronic lung conditions are fuelled by inflammation. That means that your diet needs to support lung healing and better function.There are some foods that are good for your lungs. When you eat these foods in moderation. You’ll soon find that your breathing improves dramatically.
We'd look into them one after the other.

* Apples
Carotenoids, a pigment in red and yellow vegetables and fruits, can improve lung function. This compound protects lung cells from damage caused by toxins like smoke and environmental pollution.

* Turmeric also has anti-inflammatory properties and should be added to your diet. It contains curcumin, which relieves inflammation in the airways and the tightness of the chest associated with asthma.

* Leafy green vegetables: A daily serving of spinach can improve lung health and protect it from infection and inflammation. Broccoli contains phytochemicals and antioxidants that reduce inflammation and prevent lung diseases. You can even saute some vegetables with eggs or eat them raw. They will help detoxify your body and improve lung health. This list of foods is far from exhaustive. Just remember to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to improve your lung health.
