No home remedy for snake bite .Do first aid and take to hospital . The aim of first aid is to retard the systemic absorption of venom and prevent life-threatening complications by prompt transport to a medical facility. First aid can be performed by victim himself/herself or by any person who happens to be nearby. Traditionally, first aid included making local incisions or “tattooing” at the site of the bite, attempts at suctioning venom out of the wound, use of tight bands (tourniquets) around ...more

Hi. It is bit a long topic. I am saying the first aid for snake bite. Tie the area above the bite site. It should not be too tight or too loose. Rush to government hospital. Do not suck the blood from bite site. Snack bite can be treatable easily. Reach hospital as soon as possible within 1 hr.

The only treatment for a snake bite in today's scenario is anti snake venom in a hospital or a primary health care center near you. Please do not try to bleed the patient or give any alcoholic drink to the patient or tie a tourniquet.
Reassure the patient that they will be fine. Many of the deaths due to snake bites are a product of fear. Reassurance and rushing to the nearest hospital is the solution.

Dear lybrate-user ji
thanks for the query.

A cat scan can give you 2d images and also can help to detect blockage if a dye / contrast is used.
With regards to the cyst, you can send me the repor...more
