3. Apply ice A mass of ice must be applied to the fractured area in order to limit the swelling and help the injured person to get a bit of relieve until the arrival of emergency help.

If this does not reduce the pain, the burnt area can be left immersed in the water. 2. Bandage and pain relieve The burnt area can be next, bandaged loosely and blistered skin must be protected. Pain relievers like aspirin can be given to the injured if he is not allergic to it. Ice must not be applied and blistered skin should be taken care of.

Conclusion
As the concluding part of this project, I would like to say that Without proper action at proper time, danger awaits us with a bigger face. We must act on time when a person is injured. We must take care of the person the way it is meant. Otherwise, a valuable life might be lost. We need to understand how precious lives of people are and what importance first aid carries in saving these precious lives. If this project imparts this idea in even one person, I would think that the project has been successful.
