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.
