If more heat is necessary try a further 10 seconds at a time with equal standing until correct temperature is reached. If frozen expose on medium initially for 60 seconds then let stand for 60 seconds. Further exposure should be in 10 seconds increments with equal standing time until correct temperature is reached. Record the total time for future use. Cold Application To help reduce swelling after an injury cool down a temperature ease headaches and toothaches or relieve minor burns.
