We are enjoying a beautiful day at the beach with a refreshing swim. Suddenly, we came across a jellyfish and we started to feel intense pain. What can we do to end that unbearable itching? If we are alone, it is very possible that the thousand things we have heard about what to do in these cases get mixed up in our heads. What a pity you didn’t pay more attention to them!
In such a situation, it is difficult to distinguish between sound medical advice and the sometimes exotic urban legends that promise to end the pain, but do not actually solve the problem. What can you do if you have been stung by a jellyfish? If you want to be safe, a quick and effective option is to seek specialized medical assistance through a phone call.
Agrupació’s health insurance offers all its policyholders this possibility. A quick call and accurate advice ensures that if you follow the recommendations you will feel relief and everything you do will help you get back to your well-being as quickly as possible. A service, by the way, that is available 24 hours every day of the year.
This situation occurs in many circumstances in summer and, in general, throughout the year. Situations in which we do not have a nearby doctor’s office and we need to act to alleviate the situation and be convinced that we are doing the right thing. Heat strokes, sunburns, mosquito bites or other insects are frequent situations in these months.
But also a sprained ankle or an open wound, to name two timeless examples. Should I apply cold or heat? Should we wet the wound? We do not always know what to do and knowing that with a call we can receive the appropriate guidance is in favor of our recovery.
If we trust what we can read on the internet or through social networks, or what sometimes well-intentioned but misinformed people or friends tell us, we will surely end up doing things that will be useless, in the best of cases, or that may even aggravate the situation. None of the following initiatives has proven its usefulness if we have been stung by a jellyfish:
In some cases, the situation can be much more serious, since some people may suffer an allergic reaction that may require cardiovascular resuscitation. In such circumstances, it is essential to call 911 immediately.
Similarly, if the jellyfish sting has occurred in the eye area, it is essential to go to a hospital to receive specialized care.
In any case, calling the Agrupació medical guidance service serves to attend to the situation in the first instance with criteria. Subsequently, Agrupació will also be able to guide us to go to the nearest assistance center or a specialist’s office, if necessary. We can even book a time by phone.
