Should i go to the emergency room if i have fell down and my knee and ankle hurt?

If you heard a pop of any kind I would go to the emergency room immediately, but if it is just sore and you can move it, you should be fine. Just apply ice packs for pain and swelling.


What should you do when you treating a casualty for heat exhaustion or heat stroke?

If they are still sweating and have normal-cool skin, remove them from the source of heat, elevate their legs and do what you can to cool them off. You can remove clothing, fan them, and try to give them sips of water. If their skin is dry and hot, remove them from heat and cool them down immediately. Apply cold packs to their necks, armpits, and groin. Wet them with cool water and fan them as much as possible. This is more serious and the patient should be transported immediately.
