If the child is only slightly injured, such as bruises and bruises, parents can handle it at home.
1.
It is common for children to have bruises when they fall or collide. This is skin discoloration caused by subcutaneous hemorrhage, forming a lump on the skin surface.
Treatment: Bruises usually heal themselves. Parents can take some measures to help their children relieve pain or swelling. Within 24 hours after trauma, apply cold compress to the affected area with an ice pack every 15 minutes. If the child has severe bruises or persistent pain, he can take antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as acetaminophen under the guidance of a doctor.
to scratch an itchy part
Children often scratch their skin when wrestling, and some even have slight bleeding, which is a scratch.
Treatment: If the child has abrasions on his knees and elbows, he can gently wash the injured parts with clear water and remove the dirt with mild soap. If you have iodophor at home, you can disinfect it with iodophor. Don't use alcohol or iodine, because it will sting. You can temporarily put a band-aid on the wound to stop the bleeding. If you still can't clean the wound after a few minutes, or there are signs of bleeding and infection (congestion, swelling, suppuration), you should seek medical advice in time.
Step 3: Tear
The child's laceration is manifested as a skin wound or deep mouth bleeding.
Treatment: When a child has laceration, stop bleeding first, press the wound with sterile gauze to stop bleeding, then wash the wound with soap and water, apply antibiotic ointment, and then cover the wound with a band-aid.
stab
There is a small and deep hole in the skin, and there may be slight bleeding.
Treatment: this kind of wound is the most susceptible to infection, because the wound is small and deep, but there is not much bleeding to wash away the bacteria. Therefore, if a child is stabbed, it should be washed immediately with soap and water with moderate temperature. Those who have not been vaccinated with DTP should be vaccinated with tetanus vaccine when necessary.
5. Foreign body embedding
When children play, they sometimes accidentally pierce foreign objects such as sawdust, glass fragments, dirt and residues into the skin and leave them in the skin.
Treatment: carefully remove the foreign body from the wound with sterile tweezers, then clean the wound with clear water and apply antibiotic ointment. If the foreign body is deeply embedded and can't be taken out at home, take the child to the hospital for treatment. If the foreign body is thick (such as branches), don't pull it out by yourself or directly press the wound. Take the child to the hospital immediately, and the doctor will do appropriate treatment.
prevent
(1) Don't play with blades and knives for children. Knives and scissors should be properly collected to prevent sharp objects from being accidentally injured.
(2) Safety protection measures should be taken for the furniture and protruding parts in the corner of the house. Doors, windows and stairs are all equipped with protective wooden fences.
(3) educate older children about traffic safety, and don't jaywalk. Children riding adult bicycles should be equipped with protective covers outside the steel rings.
(4) Children with a history of subluxation of radial head should avoid pulling the upper limbs.
Conclusion: The above is related knowledge about how to deal with trauma. Through the above introduction, I think everyone already knows the first aid method and how to do it for children's trauma. However, although there are corresponding first-aid methods, the focus is on prevention and avoiding the child's trauma as much as possible.
