  Wash your hands properly for 20 seconds

  স্বাস্থ্য ও প্রাথমিক চিকিৎসা

  1. 1💧Wet hands
  2. 2🧼Lather with soap
  3. 3⏱️Scrub 20 seconds
  4. 4🤲Rinse and dry

  Cool a minor burn under running water

  স্বাস্থ্য ও প্রাথমিক চিকিৎসা

  3. 3💍Remove tight items
  4. 4🧈No ice or butter

  2. Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for about 20 minutes, as soon as possible.
  3. Remove any clothing or jewellery near the burn, but do not move anything stuck to the skin.
  4. Never use ice, iced water, creams, or greasy substances like butter; once cooled, lay cling film over it (do not wrap).

  Stop bleeding with firm direct pressure

  স্বাস্থ্য ও প্রাথমিক চিকিৎসা

  For a bleeding wound, press firmly with a clean cloth and raise the area - call emergency services if severe.

  জানা ভালো: Life-threatening if bleeding is heavy: call emergency services FIRST. General information only, not a substitute for first-aid training. Avoid contact with someone else's blood where possible and seek care for deep or dirty wounds.
