Health Tips on What to do in Emergencies? -1

The question most mothers dread but which is bound to crop up someday is; What should I do until the doctor gets here?

Knowing just what to do for an injured child before a doctor or a trained person gets to the scene of the accident can save his life, especially in case of severe bleeding, broken bones and poisoning.

Most Accidents happen at home, so it is important that the phone numbers of nearby doctors, hospitals or an ambulance service are dept handy at all times. Teach your child how to use the phone properly and how to reach a responsible adult nearby.

When leaving for work or even for short errands, tell your children where and how you can be reached. If that is not possible, ask a neighbor or a relative to keep an eye on your brood or check on them through periodic phone calls.

With a medicine cabinet well-stocked with first-aid supplies, you can keep in mind the following measures to help you cope with these most common home accidents.

But, let me tell you that for my next issue of my article. I hope to see you there.
