Sprains & Strains
- Make sure the casualty is in a comfortable position and that the injured area is well supported.
- Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the injury to reduce blood flow and swelling.
- Tip: Use a face cloth soaked in cold water and wring out to make a cold compress. Alternatively, use crushed ice or a packet of frozen vegetables wrapped in a tea towel.
