Lay the infant down and - firmly but gently - repeatedly press between ribs and bellybutton with two fingers.

If an infant is choking seriously on an item, call 911 immediately if you are in the US. While waiting, if you know how, try to dislodge the item from the infant's throat - if visible when the mouth is open. Always check first of all if the infant is breathing and if he/she is able to cry or scream.

Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell, and they surround and eat invaders in the body.

There is no one answer to this question, because neck pain can have many different causes, and massage will only help with some, not all, of them. Even mild neck pain can be a sign of a medical condition, so it would be wise to see a well trained physical therapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor.

If the pain lasts more than a few days, is of unknown origin, or inhibits your activities of daily living, than it would be a good idea to have it checked by a doctor.

With that said, a common massage self-care exercise involves placing two tennis balls into an old sock and tying it shut, then laying on the floor with these under the neck, each ball on either side of the spine. Move slowly as you find the tender areas and press into them gently. A good rule of thumb is that if it feels good, it is good for you. If it feels bad, then you are pushing to hard or too fast. If you listen to your body it will tell you just how to do it. It works on the same principle as your pet cat or dog pushing back into you as you pet them, they don't need instructions, they just do what feels natural. Good luck with the neck pain.

Yes. Petroleum jelly is just that; an oil product. Lip balms generally contain some form of petroleum, along with waxes (such as beeswax or parafin) and "enhancers"-things that make your lips shiny or medicate them, etc. Some common ones include vitamins A and E, almond oil, shea butter, and other oils (coconut, etc.) Balms are sometimes colored, as well, where as petroleum is clear and shiny. Plus, a full container of petroleum jelly is (a lot of times, anyways) cheaper than most lip balms out there.

Well the best way ive ever heard of is the old fashion way my mother taught me. You first get a damp cloth and lightly pat it to grab any gravell or dirt. It might sting at first but its ok trust me.

The best position for an injured person is to place them on their side, with the knee of their top leg bent just a little, and their top arm placed so that the lower part of their hand is closer to the ground. This is to prevent the person from rolling over on their stomach, or on their back. This stabilizes the patient until help arrives.

An exception to this would be if the person has (or you suspect they have) a neck or back injury. In this case, the person would be place on their back, moving them as little as possible, and securing their head so they can't turn it to either side.

Frequent bloody noses are typically due to three causes: * Hypertension or high blood pressure. * Problems with clotting factors, resultant from pathology or from "blood-thinning" medications such as Plavix or Coumadin. * Problems with the tissues and processes in the nose and related areas. The first factor relates to cardiac problems and, if you aren't experiencing cardiac issues, are unlikley causes. Blood dysgracias that interfere with clotting factors can be diagosed serologically, but are not the usual culprit. Most often, bloody noses in the otherwise healthy, are the result of damage to the nasopharyngeal tissues, either emergent or chronic. This sort of damage can come from dehydrtation of these tissues (dry air, exposure to lots of dust, etc.), over-use of nasal decongestants -- especially aerosols (both quite common), deviation of the septum, or scarring. I'd have my doc take a look in-office with a nasopharyngascope and see if he can identify what's wrong, before proceeding to more serious measures.
