Infants often fall, so you should prepare more drugs to treat the injuries caused by falls.
How to deal with
In fact, ordinary scratches will only bleed a little, and if they are mild, they will not even bleed. In this case, you don't need special medical treatment to recover, just give the child a gentle hug.
If the wound is large, wash it carefully with clear water, because this kind of wound is generally stained with dirt. For example, when you fall to the ground and wipe your knees, you must clean up the dust on the wound, otherwise it may cause infection. When cleaning the wound, you can apply some antiseptic and hemostatic trauma ointment and then wrap it with loose and clean cotton cloth. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly.
When dealing with a cut, first wrap the wound with a clean cotton cloth and stop the bleeding slightly. If the wound is dirty, it should be cleaned before dressing. Small wounds don't need to go to the hospital for treatment, they will grow on their own. When the wound stops bleeding, it needs to be removed and exposed to the air, which can increase the child's courage, so try to expose the wound and wait for it to grow up. For larger wounds' gauze needs to be changed every day' to avoid wound infection.

Most little guys' "exploration" games end with "small thorns" stuck in their hands or legs. Children are easy to scratch the wound back and forth after stabbing, which may cause serious infection if not treated in time.
How to deal with
Carefully wash the affected area and nearby skin with soapy water, then gently clamp the thorn with sterile tweezers and apply a little vertical force.
Just pull it out and be careful not to use too much force to avoid breaking the thorn.
When do you need to see a doctor?
If the thorn is large, or deeply embedded in the skin, or located at joints such as elbows or knees, or near the eyes, seek the help of a doctor. Furthermore, if you take out the thorn and find some swelling nearby, you should also contact the doctor. This is probably an infection in the affected area.
Burns and scalds
Burns and scalds, if not handled properly, often have extremely serious consequences for babies because their skin is very thin.
How to deal with
The first thing you have to do is the same, no matter whether the injury is caused by burns, open flames, electricity or chemicals: wash the affected area with cold water immediately 10 minutes or more. Don't use detergent, gel or butter (like some folk remedies), and don't mix it with ice.

Tooth abrasion
If a child accidentally falls and touches a tooth, there is still a chance for the tooth to be repaired, whether it falls directly or only a little skin is attached.
How to deal with
If the tooth has fallen off,' wash the tooth carefully with clear water immediately', then' hold the jaw with your hand and don't touch the root' and gently put it back on the child's gum. Pay attention to remind children not to touch it. Similarly, if the tooth is still attached to the gum, just push it back to the correct position. The baby's gums have a strong regenerative ability, and it won't take long to recover.

If the teeth can't be put back accurately, put them in milk and take them to the dentist immediately. Please note that the time from tooth loss to medical treatment should not exceed 30 minutes, otherwise it will easily affect the success rate of tooth replantation.
crush injury
When a child learns to crawl, you can't be too careful to avoid his injury. Most children will bump their heads several times this year. Usually, all they need after a fall is a gentle kiss from their mother. However, we suggest that parents should continue to observe their children's head injuries for more than 6 hours to avoid accidents.
How to deal with
Applying ice packs or other cool things to the wound can avoid the swelling of the wound and reduce the occurrence of complications. When using an ice pack, be careful to wrap it in cotton before using it. Don't let the ice directly touch the skin. Then, as appropriate, appease the child and relieve his pain.
When do you need to see a doctor?
If you have coma, dizziness, foaming at the mouth, or the pain lasts more than 1 hour', you should be sent to the hospital immediately. If you suspect fracture, dislocation, etc. Please send it to the hospital or nearby infirmary for examination immediately. If you find that your child is bruised and accompanied by fever,' go to the hospital as soon as possible' to rule out the possibility of some serious diseases.
For curious babies, home is an adventure paradise. I can climb, I can walk independently, and I wander around the room. Sometimes it's really beyond the control of adults. In order to prevent accidents, it is wise to rule out possible accidents from the impossible. It is much better to build a safe home for the baby first than to remedy it after the accident, isn't it?
Create a safe home
Prevent stab wounds
Sharp objects such as scissors, fruit knives and needles should be placed where the baby can't get them; Don't put a glass coffee table and a glass cup in the living room to prevent the baby from being hurt after the glass is broken. When children eat, they should use children's tableware that is not fragile and has no sharp corners.
Prevent burns (scalds)
Put away matches, lighters, etc. And put the hot water bottle, hot soup and hot rice at a height that the baby can't reach. To bathe the baby, the correct procedure should be to put cold water first and then hot water to prevent the baby from being burned.
Prevent suffocation by swallowing foreign bodies.
Coins, pen caps, glass balls, buttons and many other small items are best hidden in the bag that the baby can't open. Special attention should be paid to prevent them from swallowing foreign objects by mistake and causing suffocation. Children should not have anything at hand that may cause suffocation or danger. When buying toys for children under 3 years old, it is also best not to buy toys that are small in size and can be put in children's mouths, or toys with small parts, or toys with sharp corners or edges.
Prevent electric shock injury
The power socket that can be inserted into the baby's finger or metal bar is sealed with plastic tape, and the power socket should be installed in a hidden place that the baby can't touch as much as possible; Microwave ovens, electric heaters, electric fans and other electrical appliances are also placed in places that will not attract the baby's special attention or are difficult to reach.
Prevent falls and injuries.
It is best to spread a layer of foam mat on the floor to prevent children from falling off the bed and hurting themselves; Furniture should be sleek, or the sharp corners of furniture should be sheathed to prevent children from falling and being injured; Don't pile up sundries on the balcony of the building to prevent children from climbing down from the sundries.
Anti-ingestion drugs
The cabinet where medicines are placed at home must be locked; Cleaners and disinfectants in bathrooms and kitchens should be covered tightly and kept out of the reach of children. Don't take empty beverage bottles to fill dangerous solutions, lest the baby eat them by mistake. Dangerous goods such as strong acid and alkali are best not to be kept indoors.
