• There may be some delayed reactions, such as fever, hives,
painful joints and swollen glands. If this happens take your child
to the doctor.
In
some children, allergies to stings from bees, wasps and so on
may lead to severe reactions (anaphylaxis). Symptoms of a severe
reaction include:
•
Nausea or vomiting
• Facial swelling
• Difficulty breathing
• Faintness or dizziness
•
Abdominal cramps or pain
• Rapid heartbeat
• Shock
This is a medical emergency: call an ambulance immediately. If
you know that your child is allergic to insect venom and your
doctor has prescribed an auto-‐injector of epinephrine,
make sure
you know how to use it, and make sure teachers etc know too.

The child may
get a foreign body in his eye, such as a small flying
insect, dust or sand. If that happens:
• Gently pull the lower eyelid out, then look for the foreign body.
If you cannot find it, gently lift the upper eyelid until you find it.
• Then remove the foreign body with
the corner of a wet tissue
or clean, lint-‐free cloth.
• Wash the child’s eye with water until the foreign body is
completely removed
• If the foreign body cannot be removed and the eye is still red
and swollen, you have to go to the doctor.
• If you cannot remove the object
or it is embedded in the
eyeball, seek medical help immediately
These are just a few of the scenarios in which a child may need
first aid. It is highly recommended for parents to learn first aid
and know what
to do if an emergency arises, before any
emergency arises. First Aid courses are available in many
countries and regions; there is also a great
deal of information on
the internet.
