    COME SEE ME ON TOUR:
    Troom Troom is one of the cringiest UA-cam channels I’ve ever seen, and their medical advice/first aid hacks are wildly inaccurate. Today we talk about sneezing, headaches, bruises, snake bites, cauterizing wounds, motion sickness, tampons, pads, hiccups, choking, smelly feet, water in your ears, heartburn, and a ton of other stuff. I never thought I’d see a channel with more weird claims than Five Minute Crafts or Bright Side, but here we are. Which hacks should I react to next?
    I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

      TroomTroom presents snake bite as a problem. Dr. Mike looks amused in anticipation of what loony cure they're about to suggest.
      TT says "cauterize.' Dr. Mike's face says, there's no way they just said or meant "cauterize."

      It'd take a while for UA-cam to take down their channel, what with their popularity, this channel, as well as 5 minute crafts are one of their biggest cash cows.

      In the ice pad setting, it's being filled with liquid water, then frozen, so presumably they're only going to fill it with the amount of water that it can hold without leaking, especially if using a syringe to fill it, since syringes over 5mls in size tend to be super expensive & a maxipad will easily hold 5mls of liquid. 5mls is not much of an ice pack, pretty useless really, but they'd have to do really weird stuff to end up with it leaking all over their face!

    When I lived in Asia, there was an old Chinese superstition going around was that when you got shingles/chickenpox, you are supposed to 'burn the snake's head' with hot coins, in order to stop its progression! Literally put burning hot coins on your (already sore) skin to 'burn and chase out the snake' that is supposedly causing this malady and 'stop it advancing.' Many educated medical practitioners had large signs in their clinics warning patients to never do this, esp parents of sick children, because they would actually see burnt children coming into their clinics with children with burn marks. In any other part of the world, this would be seen as child abuse.

    As someone who is CPR and First-Aid certified, I know that holding and shaking a choking child will not help unblock his or her airways. It just might cause the object to become more lodged in the throat instead. Plus, it might actually cause brain trauma from the brain being forced to rattle in the child's skull. This is why you don't shake or bounce young infants, and why you shouldn't really try this with anyone. Great job, Troom Troom.
    Edit: To everyone in the comments below who are saying that not shaking children is common sense, I know. Unfortunately, common sense isn't really common anymore and I've seen caretakers unintentionally be very rough with their small infants and children, like throwing them up in the air, etc. when I babysit. And most of them aren't even a year old OR if they are older, their children are pretty small-framed for their ages.
    So before becoming a parent, PLEASE do your research on basic knowledge like this so you know how to assist your children if they need any urgent medical aid in a life-threatening situation. I beg you. It's heartbreaking to see (as a teenager), loving parents who don't know how to take care of their little ones in a proper manner.
    You just might end up saving his/her life one day.

Or Benadryl if it’s not available (one time I didn’t pack enough for the home trip, but the hotel had Benadryl, I was a little sleepy but it helped the nausea. I don’t tend to get motion sick when I’m the driver, and I wasn’t, so the drowsiness wasn’t a big concern.)

    9:39 actually, using soap and then wipe it out can really remove a painted "bruise"!

    The actual science behind stopping hiccups: when people say “hold your breath” they’re not necessarily wrong, just being too vague. Take in the deepest possible breath, and then tense your core. Since hiccups are the involuntary contractions of your diaphragm, and breathing in contracts it, you will briefly make it physically impossible for it to compress further. Then, after a bit, slowly let your breath out.
    Edit: drinking water also helps because it also helps you regulate your breathing. The same tactic is good for someone who’s crying to calm them down

      As someone who doesn't really have sugar on hand, that's the trick I always use and I always assumed it worked exactly for the reason you explained. I push my filled lungs down on the abdomen and that seems to compress the diaphragm completely, which in turns help it to relax.

      I actually use exactly the opposite approach; exhale as much as possible (far more than in normal breathing) and hold... It usually works for me first time, if not simply repeat. As above, I guess it is about conscious diaphragm control.

      Yup. This is the only hack that has ever worked for me. I hold it until I feel a cold feeling wash over me--that's how I know it's worked and I can take a breath again.

      Yep, I hold my breath. But I have to sit still for it to work, if I walk around at the same time it’s no good

    Motion sickness on boats can be soothed by going on deck, looking at the horizon, and eating saltines. If you stay inside and can't orient what you see to what you feel, that makes the nausea worse. I ride ferries and it always works.

      Oh boy... my sister used to spend her whole days watching Troom Troom and 5 Minute Hacks ır whatever it was called. This phase lasted for TWO YEARS. And trust me, those channels sound even more irritating in Turkish than English. And she NEVER wore headphones. I'm pretty sure she lost braincells watching those stuff. I wish you good luck and patience.
