Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a minor cut?
Wash hands, rinse the wound with clean running water, apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding, then cover with a sterile bandage. Seek care if bleeding does not stop, wound is deep, or signs of infection appear.
What to do for mild stomach pain or acidity?
Eat light meals, avoid oily or spicy food, hydrate well, and avoid lying down right after eating. Seek care if pain is severe, persistent, with vomiting blood, black stool, fever, or right-lower abdominal pain.
What should I do for fever at home?
Drink fluids, rest, and monitor temperature. Use fever medicine only as directed. Seek medical care if fever is very high, lasts more than 3 days, or occurs with breathing trouble, confusion, severe vomiting, dehydration, or rash.
What can I do for a headache?
Rest in a quiet room, drink water, and avoid screen strain. You may use a usual over-the-counter pain reliever if it is safe for you. Get urgent help if headache is sudden and severe, after injury, with weakness, confusion, fever, stiff neck, or vision trouble.
What should I do if I get a minor burn?
Cool the area under running water for 10 to 20 minutes, remove tight items, and cover with a clean non-stick dressing. Do not apply ice, toothpaste, or butter. Seek medical care if the burn is deep, large, or on face, hands, genitals, or joints.
