First Aid in different situations:

But you should take proper medical treatment by doctors after the first aid.

1)Animal Bite:

Wash the bite area with soap and water. If the bite is bleeding, put pressure on it using sterile gauze or a clean cloth. If the bleeding has stopped, put antibiotic ointment on the area. Cover the area with a bandage or sterile gauze.

2)Cuts Due to Sharp Objects:

Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth.
If blood soaks through the bandage, place another bandage on top of the first and keep applying pressure.
Raise the injured body part to slow bleeding.
When bleeding stops, cover the wound with a new, clean bandage.
Do not use a tourniquet.

3)For Bone Fracture:

Stop any bleeding: If they’re bleeding, elevate and apply pressure to the wound using a sterile bandage, a clean cloth, or a clean piece of clothing.
Immobilize the injured area: If you suspect they’ve broken a bone in their neck or back, help them stay as still as possible. If you suspect they’ve broken a bone in one of their limbs, immobilize the area using a splint or sling.
Apply cold to the area:  Wrap an ice pack or bag of ice cubes in a piece of cloth and apply it to the injured area for up to 10 minutes at a time.
Treat them for a shock: Help them get into a comfortable position, encourage them to rest, and reassure them. Cover them with a blanket or clothing to keep them warm. And suddenly call the ambulance if the person is unconscious.

4)Heart Attack: 

Loosen any tight clothing. Ask if the person takes any chest pain medicine, such as nitroglycerin, for a known heart condition, and help them take it. If the pain does not go away promptly with rest or within 3 minutes of taking nitroglycerin, call for emergency medical help. Chew and swallow an aspirin, unless you are allergic to aspirin or have been told by your doctor never to take aspirin.

5)Dizziness:

The person should sit down or lie still. If the person gets light-headed when standing up, the person should stand up slowly. Avoid sudden changes in position. If the person is thirsty, have him or her drink fluids. If a person is feeling energyless then give him some sweet.
