🏠🩺 Here's how you can treat your minor emergency at home until you get to your appointment!
👉 Sprain or fracture means you should follow the RICE method. Rest, apply Ice and Compression, and Elevate the area while you wait for your appointment.
👉 Bleeding wounds require you to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or gauze to stem the flow of blood. Also, try and keep the laceration from becoming larger by holding the edges together.
