Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Soak frostbitten fingers, toes or other extremities in warm water-105 to 110 F (about 40 to 43 C). If a thermometer isn’t available, test the water by placing an uninjured hand or elbow in it-it should feel very warm, not hot.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration increases your risk of frostbite, so make sure you drink a glass of water before going outdoors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deep frostbite requires immediate medical attention. Like the treatment for superficial frostbite, your doctor will rewarm the area. They’ll give you pain medication, wrap the area, and may provide IV fluids.
