What if you hurt your leg or a pet hurts you by mistake? Unexpected things happen to everyone. Small wounds need loving care and enough time to get better again. Luckily, you can take care of most small wounds without visiting a hospital; that's why it's a good idea to have simple first-aid tools on hand at home.
The first thing to do is to stop bleeding quickly. Small cuts usually close up on their own. If not, cover the wound with a clean cloth or bandage. Then press on it until the bleeding stops.
Next, it's important to clean the wound with running water so as not to get bad germs (细菌). Use warm water and soap to carefully wash the wound until the dirt is of. If needed, wet some cotton gauze pads (纱布垫) with alcohol (酒精) and clean again. After that, dry the wound completely.
Then, cover the wound to keep out bad germs using a bandage, gauze pads, or other kinds of clean cover.
Finally, be kind to your wound. Try not to hit it. When the bandage gets wet or dirty, replace it. After a scab (痂) forms, let the wound get some fresh air so that it can get better as soon as possible.
All in all, you can deal with small cuts quickly by first aid at home. Actually, there's more you can learn about the first aid.
