We all experience a variety of pains from time to time, including toothaches, muscle pains, headaches, and backaches. Experts have named several common and effective home methods of combating them.
Ice and peace. This is an ideal technique for dealing with small-scale sprains and bruises. Apply an ice pack to the injured area and try to lie down for a while. This is necessary in order not to put additional pressure on the injured limb or part of the body.
Water. It is used to clean and wash wounds and to treat burns. If you experience a burn, place the affected body part under running cold water and then apply a cold compress as soon as possible. Naturally, in the case of serious burns, home treatment is contraindicated, and you need urgent professional help.
Over-the-counter pills. Among them are aspirin, nurofen and other drugs that are often used for pain of an inflammatory nature. You need to use these pills with caution, because with a large dosage, one pain can change to another, and instead of a headache, you have a stomach ache. Well, long-term uncontrolled use of painkillers leads to kidney problems, ulcers and hypertension.
Means for external use. These are various types of gels, creams, sprays and plasters. They can help relieve pain without serious side effects.
