What about sunburn and scald? Remember the first aid!
How to deal with sunburn and scald that are most likely to occur in summer?
Sunburn: milk is applied to the sunburn.
Feng Aiping, chief physician of wuhan union hospital Dermatology Department, introduced that a towel should be cold-compressed, soaked in water, frozen in the refrigerator for a few minutes, and then applied to the sunburn for about 10 minutes, 2 ~ 3 times a day.
Apply milk to the sunburn, put a cloth in the liquid mixed with milk and ice water, and then apply it to the sunburn. Whey protein and lactic acid in milk have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
Try aloe lotion or gel aloe vera with anti-inflammatory effect, which helps to relieve redness, inflammation and sunburn. Applying it to sunburned skin will make you feel cool and pleasant as never before. It is more comfortable to ice in the refrigerator before using it.
Apply ointment containing steroids because steroids can diminish inflammation, relieve pain, make you feel comfortable and relieve burning sensation.
Be sure to drink plenty of water. Sunburn will make you dehydrated. Remember to replenish enough water as soon as possible.
Use fragrance-free moisturizing milk to moisturize lotion or moisturizing oil with fragrance-free essence, and apply it several times a day. Edible oil is also acceptable. You can also use SPF30 or higher sunscreen lotion (but don’t use chemical ingredients) or wear clothes to protect your skin from damage.
Don’t put ice cubes on the sunburn, because putting ice cubes on the sunburn will cause frostbite on the sunburn skin surface and cause too much damage to the skin.
If you have these symptoms, go to a doctor and get sunburned over half of your skin. There are blisters; Have systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills or severe pain; There are symptoms of infection, such as redness of the skin or aggravation of pus.
Scald: Flush with tap water for half an hour.
Cui Yuyan, a Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said that most parents were in a hurry to send their children to the hospital after their children were scalded, and even used "indigenous methods" such as soy sauce and toothpaste to rescue them, which led to infection and aggravated their illness.
Yu Bing, Department of Burn Plastic Surgery, Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, reminded that burns can be divided into first-degree burns (erythema and red skin); Second degree scald (blisters, blisters on the affected area); Third-degree scald (necrotizing, skin peeling).
First-degree scald: it should be washed with running water immediately, that is, "cooling treatment", preferably for half an hour. If it is inconvenient to wash, it can also be applied with a cold towel to take away the heat and reduce the degree of burns;
Second-degree scald: after a certain period of "cooling treatment", it is still local redness, fever, unbearable pain, and blisters appear on the injured area. Don’t break the blisters at this time, and go to the hospital for treatment quickly;
Third-degree scald: The fat, bones and muscles under the skin are imitated and pale as leather, but the pain is not severe at this time, because many nerves are also damaged together. At this time, pollution and re-injury of the wound surface should be avoided, drugs should not be rubbed, and it should be kept clean and sent to the hospital for treatment quickly.
The most direct treatment after accidental scald is to wash with tap water, and it is not recommended to apply ice cubes to the affected area to prevent frostbite. It is really necessary to use ice. It is recommended to wrap it with clean and soft gauze and then apply it to the affected area for half an hour. [detailed]
Three life tips to stop hiccups
Although burping is not a disease, some people burp from time to time, and once they burp, they can’t stop, which still has a certain impact on life and work. Sun Yan, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, teaches you to use some life tricks to stop burping, but she reminds that continuous burping for more than 24 hours may be a sign of some diseases.
A brief hiccup does not require medical attention.
Hiccup is actually a physiological phenomenon caused by diaphragm spasm. In fact, burping is beneficial. Burping helps to expel gas from human lungs and help relieve flatulence in the stomach. Therefore, there is no need to consult a doctor for brief hiccups in daily life.
However, frequent hiccups will still have an impact on life. To this end, Sun Yan suggested that the following small methods can be tried when hiccups occur daily.
1) divert attention. There is a saying that it is good to be scared when burping. In fact, this is one of the ways to relieve burping, and to eliminate bad emotions by diverting attention.
2) Take a sip of warm water and swallow it several times. If you can tilt your upper body forward to a position where it is parallel to the ground, drink water in this state.
3) Take a deep breath, hold it for as long as possible, then exhale slowly and repeat several times. In addition, you can also cover your mouth with a mask when inhaling, forming an environment with increased carbon dioxide, stimulating the respiratory center of the human body, thus reducing the irritating excitement.
You don’t have to see a doctor if you can restrain it. If it persists and affects life, work and sleep, you can go to the hospital for consultation. There are some drugs that can help treat hiccups.
Be careful when burping for more than 24 hours.
Long-term persistent burping, such as burping for more than 24 hours, needs attention. Persistent hiccups are called "intractable hiccups" in medicine. If there is a disease in the stomach, persistent hiccups may cause tearing of esophageal mucosa and even gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, "intractable hiccups" may also indicate some diseases, such as stomach tumors, liver cirrhosis, cerebral infarction, etc. Therefore, if this kind of hiccups occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Just use 3 tricks and never worry about cleaning your hair again.
It is the dream of many women to have a beautiful black hair. But when this beautiful hair falls off, all it brings is trouble. Especially under the sofa, closet gap, sewer and other sanitary corners, hair often accumulates, which is quite difficult to clean up. The following are several cleaning methods recommended for everyone.
1. Hair on the floor
You can put a pair of old silk stockings on the broom. When sweeping the floor, hair and dust will be easily adsorbed on the silk stockings because of static electricity.
2. Cloth hair on sofas, sheets and sweaters
You can cut off a wide piece of tape and stick it on it a few times, which can be easily removed.
3, sewer hair
Li Hongzhu, an associate researcher at Tianjin Institute of Medicine, reminded that the hair in the sewer is hidden and difficult to clean, so many people think that it can be done with pipe dredge. Actually, the hair is made of protein, which is not easy to corrode. Using some acid-base solvents will not work, and it may damage the pipeline.
It is best to choose a pipe mouth with a sieve to clean the accumulated hair on it regularly. If it’s a bouncing sewer, try a tailor-made "sewer hair cleaner", which is made of plastic and has gears on both sides. After reaching into the pipe and turning it, the hair will be pulled out. [detailed]
