<u>RICE for treating physical injuries: </u>

“RICE – Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation”

<u>Rest:</u> Need to take rest and protect the injured area.

<u>Ice: </u>By applying cold ice pack will reduce pain and swelling.  

<u>Compression:</u> Need to wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage will compress the wound and reduce swelling.

<u>Elevation:</u> Need to place the injured area at a height (above the heart level) which helps in minimizing the swelling.
