Healing a Hurt

Sometimes you can get hurt when you are active. You can help heal an injury like a twisted ankle by following RICE. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

Rest--Rest the hurt body part.

Ice--Have an adult help you put an ice pack on it.

Compression--Have an adult put a compression bandage on it. This helps keep the swelling down.

Elevation--Keep the body part raised up.
