First Aid for near drowning
Near drowning refers to survival of a drowning event involving
unconsciousness or water inhalation.
The child may be involved in an accident that causes him to
inhale water, such as falling into a swimming pool or bathtub, or
falling from your arms on the beach. If that happens, pick your
child up immediately and do the following:
• Call an ambulance
• Perform CPR if he has lost consciousness, has no pulse
and/or is not breathing

First Aid for wounds and bleeding
Minor cuts and scrapes are part of childhood and in most cases
do not need medical attention. The following points should be
borne in mind when dealing with such injuries:
• Stop any bleeding by applying pressure to the wound with a
piece of gauze or a clean cloth.
• Clean the wound with surgical spirits or rubbing alcohol
• Small pieces of debris can be removed using tweezers (clean
them first with rubbing alcohol). Larger pieces or anything deeply
embedded should be removed by a doctor.
• Apply a topical anti-­‐septic such as Neosporin or Polysporin to
prevent infection
• Put a clean dressing or band-­‐aid on the wound. Make sure the
gauze pad is large enough to cover the wound completely.
• If the bleeding does not stop and seeps through the dressing,
put another dressing over the first one.
• Take the child to a doctor or emergency room to have the
wound stitched if it is large.
