   • The area may swell and hurt.
   • To treat a sprain, rest the area, apply ice, and keep it raised.

   • Wash the area with soap and water.
   • Apply an anti-itch cream or cold pack to help.
3. Head Injuries:
   • Bumping your head can cause pain, dizziness, or a bump on your head.
   • Rest and put ice on the bump.
   • If you feel very dizzy, tell an adult.
4. Poisoning:
   • Eating or drinking something harmful, like certain plants or chemicals.
   • If you think someone has been poisoned, call for help right away.
5. Choking:
   • When food or an object gets stuck in your throat, it can be hard to breathe.
   • If someone is choking, ask for help and do the Heimlich maneuver if trained.
6. Electric Shocks:
   • When you touch something with electricity, like a broken wire, you can get shocked.
   • Move away from the source of electricity.
   • Call for help if needed.
7. Allergic Reactions:
   • Some people are allergic to foods, animals, or plants.
   • An allergic reaction can cause swelling, itching, or trouble breathing.
   • If you see signs of an allergic reaction, tell an adult right away.
