person in a well-lighted area and try to remove the foreign body. We
never try to remove the foreign body forcefully. If it is not possible to re-
move it easily, we should take a person to the nearest health institution.

C. Foreign Body in Throat

Smnetimes, an object or smnething can get stuck inside the throat
during swallowing meals. The children can take an object or
something while they are playing. It causes choking, hiccup, and
a person feels difficulty in speaking. If an object gets stuck in the
airway, it needs immediate attention. We try to remove it to save
the life. We help the person to throw out an object by coughing. If a
person is facing a problem in speaking due to choking, wrap your
arms around the waist and tip the person slightly forward. We should
also wrap with one arm and hit on the back just above the waist
with one arm. If the foreign body is removed through this attempt,
give abdominal thrust just above the navel. If the person becomes
unconscious, lower the person onto the floor. If it is not possible to re-
move it easily, we should take a person to the nearest health institution.

D. Tooth Fracture
Sometimes, teeth can get cracked due to different causes such as
biting hard food items, playing sports, road and other accidents. We
should help a person to sit comfortably in a suitable place. If teeth
get fractured by falling down, we should clear the mouth through
gurgling. In the case of a total teeth fracture, we should wrap the
bleeding area with cotton or cloth. We should take a person to the
nearest health institution for additional treatment.

E. Heat Stroke
As temperature increases, a heat wave starts to blow in the Terai
region. The temperature rises over 40 °C. Dry and heat wave sweeps
from May to August. As a result, heat-related illness is caused
which is called heat stroke. Heat stroke patients feel thirsty, have
headaches, and are restless. They have flushed and pale faces. They
suffer from vomiting and fainting problem. The body temperature
can reach 104 OF. We should keep them in a cool and fresh place
and a well-ventilated environment. We should apply ice packs
or wet cotton or cloth on the forehead, arms, and feet. We should
