The very first step which everybody might have known already is to equip your house with a first aid kit and some medical appliances. In cases like cutting yourself, bleeding, nosebleeding, coughing, headaches, fever…you will need the first aid kit to know exactly what condition you are in and later have a suitable solution to it. A first aid kit will consist of some scrolls of bandages, URGOtm bandaids, some medical fluff, gauzes, some alcohol and medical bactericide fluid, a thermometer and some other useful devices. These will all help you with diagnosing your own illness. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and follow the steps to use these.
The next thing to do is to keep calm and carry out first aids gestures. If you feel like you are having a fever, measure your body temperature with the thermometer, if the number is above 37 Celsius degree after 7-10 minutes, it means you do have the fever. Treating flus, fevers and headaches is easy: have a glass of water, drink some aspirin or paracetamol which helps lower your body’s temperature and lessen the pain. Then wash a hand towel with cold water, rinse and dry it but still let an amount of cold water left on the towel, then lie down and put it on your forehead to cool off the heat in your head. Try to have a complete rest without reading, working or surfing on the internet. If you have a flu with a running nose and diarrhea, apply natri clorid in the nasals, eat hot food only and consume a bowl of boiled water with ginger in it, you may also want to apply balm oil into your nose to make it stop running.
Treating small cuts and bleedings is even more simple. Do not panic when you cut yourself and begin to bleed, just calmly hold the wound and press it tightly with pressure on it. This will contemporarily stop your flow of blood to go out flooding. Then reach for the first aid kit and find bandages, medical fluff and gauzes. If the wound is small, you only need an URGOtm. Next, apply some medical alcohol or bactericide fluid on a bunch of fluff, then clean up the wound to sterilize the area of the bleeding. As soon as you take the fluff off,cover the wound with a gauze and wrap it with layers of bandages until it holds the gauze in a stable position. While wrapping, make sure you put enough pressure on it and wrap it tightly, but not too tight, otherwise the blood will not be able to flow.

With slight coughing and sore throat, the only thing you can do at home is to take lozenges and consume salt water to clean up the throat. You may also want to try drinking a small amount of honey, or eat some sour lime, to help lessen the pain in the throat. However, if these symptoms do not disappear, it is best to consult the doctors for better treatment.
