So.... first-aid for frostbite? - frostbite swollen fingers
Firstly, yes, I am aware that I'm an idiot outside in the cold without gloves.
I wanted to do something outside in the morning and went out without gloves .... at 15 degrees. I was maybe 45 minutes, my hands hurt after only 10 minutes, but I continue to work I said I would do. I closed the first aid on me now, just make sure, I have also ...
1.) Warm hands. (put it under my) with weapons
2). Immersed in hot water.
3). Wear gloves to keep warm.
I'm still a pair of thick gloves now. My fingers are still slightly swollen and numb, but not like them. Everything else can I do?

4 comments:
Well done properly warming fingers in warm water, the best they can in water, until the fingers begin to tingle, you have removed your jewelry?. Wear gloves and stay at home is a good idea. And expect the pain and swelling, but if your toes are still numb, and still have the purple / blue get / black to medical care.
If frostbite is difficult, call a physician, preferably made of pieces after warming in hot water until you remove the feeling of tingling, wrap jewelry, then each finger individually with cotton swabs (to prevent friction), then the members of the group affected.
Under no circumstances should you ever
You rub (the affected area causing more damage to the affected area)
Use warm compresses or pads (you can BUrn the affected area)
Giving alcohol because you took the heat from the extremities
best solution NOW
between the shower and let hot water run over them,
remain there until the water is cold, then leave,
The gloves are bad
Gloves
or nothing
and rub a little Vaseline or type of shea butter cream
This will help you get the blood moving
If you do not shower himself,
be in the bathroom to leave the hands in the basin, the laundry in hot water over them,

I still soak warm, not hot, but not cold. keep covered, if it still bothers you after 24 hours, I went to the doctor.
They have done everything necessary. The only other thing to do is maybe some pain killers to numb the Sting / - you will feel more comfortable. Hope your finger is now back to normal temperature. The swelling may disappear for several days. Be the known black box "appears on the skin - need immediate medical treatment, which is an indicator of an area of tissue that has died of freezing. Moreover, after a freeze the fingers are more sensitive to cold when exposed to anything new.
