What is the treatment for subluxated rib?
A chiropractor can move the rib back to into place. It may take several treatments, but the pain will drop dramatically, and the treatment will be healthy and fairly easy. Dr. Gazdar explains: The corrective adjustment is fairly simple. The chiropractor will use a drop table, activator (a hand-held instrument), or some efficient lever to quickly "pop" the rib back into its proper position. The adjustment must be made precisely and quickly. Total relaxation on the part of the patient is absolutely essential.
To cool off they say to wrap a cool wet towel around your neck Why?
Because there's a huge amount of blood flow through the neck so, the idea goes, cooling the cools all of you.. However, I don't think it works all that well, does it? The area you're cooling is really quite small, so there's not a lot of heat transfer. Instead, do what your body does: evaporation. Cover as much bare skin with a thin layer of water, and find a good breeze. In first aid situations, immersion in cool (not cold!) water works great. Less effective but still viable are alcohol rubs, where you swab exposed skin with rubbing alcohol (caution -- don't try this one around the campfire -- beware of flames).

When do you use hydrogen peroxide as an antiseptic?
A recent study of antimicrobials showed that hydrogen peroxide is one of the least effective of the antimicrobials that are available now. Soap and water along with betadyne is probably the best choice.
Many studies have documented that the use of hydrogen peroxide in open wounds is not only cytotoxic (kills the cell by attacking cell walls) to bacteria, but also to white blood cells and vital wound-healing cells (such as fibroblasts).
While I too prefer Iodides, I hasten to add that hydrogen peroxide is, I believe, far more effective than alcohol in the role of an antiseptic.
More...Hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2 3% solution is very effective as an antimicrobial -- possibly too effective. While other testing has shown that it tends to kill bacteria extremely effectively (moreso than iodine), the above answer is correct in that it is indeed cytotoxic (can kill your own cells), which can interfere with wound healing. This means it's not the antiseptic of choice once the healing process has started, or near delicate tissue. Overall, hydrogen peroxide is very rarely used in healthcare nowadays for this reason.Alcohol, on the other hand, is never used as an antiseptic -- on open wounds to kill off infection. Instead, alcohol is used as a disinfectant, which means it's applied on a surface. It's often used in cleaning and decontamination including instruments, and it's swabbed on to unbroken skin prior to an injection.

ABSOLUTLEY!! spray wound with daluted lysol pat on sea salt, put a non stick gaus pad and wrap tight with vet wrap. Do this every day untill you see improvment every other day.
