What to do

Cold pad

1. Soak a clean cloth or flannel in cold water. Then wring it out lightly and fold into a pad.

   • Hold it firmly against the injured area.

2. Re-soak the cloth every couple of minutes to keep it cool.

   • Do not cool the injury for more than 20 minutes.

Ice pack

1. Use a pack of frozen vegetables or partly fill a plastic bag using small ice cubes or crushed ice. Wrap the bag in a dry cloth.

2. Hold the pack on the injury and top up with ice to keep it cool.

   • Do not cool the injury for more than 20 minutes.
