Come on for the back-to-school season

After becoming a mother, the most fearful thing is to see the child injured, but accidents sometimes happen so suddenly.

Some time ago, the 4-year-old daughter of Sister Fang's next-door neighbor was scalded by a pot of freshly boiled hot water. Freshly boiled boiling water, adults touch it through the glass, and it will be so hot that they quickly retract their hands. What's more, it is a pot of freshly boiled water, the temperature is close to 100, and it is all poured on the child, how painful it must be!

According to Sister Fang's recollection, it was a weekend, and Sister Fang wanted to take advantage of the rest to clean the house, so she let her daughter play in the living room, and she worked in the kitchen, bathroom and other rooms.

Suddenly, she heard a "clang", and then she heard her daughter's heart-rending cry. Frightened, she hurriedly ran out of the bathroom, only to see her daughter holding her left arm with her right hand, shaking it up and down, her entire left arm was wet, and the white heat was still rising around, and the boiling kettle that was originally on the table was lying on the ground.

When Sister Fang saw this, she knew that her daughter was scalded by boiling water. So she hurriedly carried her daughter to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, adjusted the flow rate of cold water, and began to pour it on her daughter's left arm.

After about 10 minutes of drenching, her daughter gradually stopped crying, so Sister Fang comforted her daughter and asked her to take the faucet and drench it slowly. He found scissors, cut the clothes on his daughter's left arm, and then soaked the whole arm in a basin of cold water.

After soaking for a few minutes, the daughter also stopped crying completely, and Sister Fang found a clean cotton cloth, covered the child's left arm, and quickly drove to the hospital.

In the process of first aid treatment, the doctor said to Sister Fang, fortunately, you still know some first aid measures for burns, and the "2 decisive" treatment at home is done correctly and very useful, reducing the probability of burn injuries and scars. You should know that if the first aid treatment is not good after the scald, the child's growth and development may be affected in the future after the child has a scar.

The "2 decisiveness" that the doctor refers to:

After discovering that the child is burned, decisively turn on the faucet and give the child a cold water on the burned area;

After rinsing with cold water, he decisively sent the child to the hospital.

Friends who have been scalded may be able to empathize, after being scalded by boiling water, the heart-rending pain is really unbearable. What makes many doctors feel a headache is that after the child is burned, the mother does not know the correct first aid treatment, but uses itHome remedies, as a result, aggravated the burn injury and affected the child's life

After burns, these home remedies are not to be treated

According to Sister Fang, when she took the child to the burn department, she met another child who was scalded by boiling water, and the injury was particularly serious. Moreover, the scar will be painful and itchy, and for the child, it may be a shadow and pain for a lifetime.

Why is this so? It turned out that after the child was burned, the mother of the six gods and no owner hurriedly rubbed aloe vera and toothpaste on the burned part of the child. When the doctor heard this, he almost cried urgently, and bluntly said that this method is not advisable, after the scald, the clothes on the child's body will absorb hot water, deepen the burned area, apply aloe vera, toothpaste, will affect the doctor to check the injury, and may also cause infection of the burned area.

As the scald doctor said, many patients with burns will do some self-treatment before coming to the hospital, but many of the treatments they do are wrong. Some have applied toothpaste, soy sauce, badger oil, honey, and even some parents have applied alcohol to their children's burned areas, and these first aid treatments are all wrong.

Rub anything on the wound after the burn, and investigate the reasonOne is that it may cause infection in the burned areaSecond, it is not conducive to the doctor's observation of the wound。If toothpaste, honey, etc. are applied to the burn wound, and the doctor cannot observe the burn injury, he will use a large amount of salt water and hydrogen peroxide to rinse the wound, which is very painful.

After a scald, treat it correctly and keep in mind 4 steps

Combined with the doctor's advice to Sister Fang, Wenwen's mother also looked up some first-aid treatment measures after scalding on the Internet, and summarized the first-aid treatment measures that mothers should do at home after the child was burned, mainly in the following 4 steps:

The first step is to find that the child is burned, find a nearby running cold water (the flow rate should not be too fast), and continue to rinse the scald area under the running cold water for more than 20 minutes, which can effectively cool down and reduce the child's pain.

The second step is to fully expose the scald part to avoid secondary damage, you can use scissors to directly cut the clothes or pants to fully expose the scald part;

In the third step, we can find a clean gauze or towel at home, moisten it with cool water, and gently cover the burned area.

Fourth, after covering the burned area, call the emergency service** or send the child directly to the nearest hospital for treatment by the burn doctor.
