First aid refers to the immediate help given to an injured or unwell person before professional medical treatment arrives.Â
Everybody gets injured or suddenly falls sick at some points in their lives.In such situations they need other people with some knowledge around them to provide them with first aid and help them out.Â
Children especially are prone to get hurt as they run around and play. They may fall down and get a scrape or abrasion. This could happen to a friend of your child or to your child herself.
