We all know that parents are always worried that something might go wrong with their children. Sometimes children get their lips cut. What should you do if your child’s lips are cut? What should I do if my child’s mouth is swollen? The editor will answer for you below!

As we all know, children are particularly naughty during childhood. They often jump around and are never quiet for a moment. This is also what many parents are worried about. If they are like this for a long time, they are prone to bumps and bruises. Sometimes they get their mouths broken, and the mouths are bleeding and swollen, which makes people even more worried. In this case, you must not be anxious. The most important thing is to reduce the swelling and inflammation first. You should also pay attention to your diet during this period and not eat spicy and irritating foods.

Wet towel to stop bleeding

Wash the lacerated area with clean water

Disinfection with strong iodine

practice:

Generally, the lips have a strong healing ability. Do not let them come into contact with water for the time being, and disinfect them with strong iodine every day.

Notice:

It is best to feed children liquid food, feeding them directly into their mouths with a small spoon. If the child has been vaccinated with diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine, there is no need to give him tetanus vaccine.

Check for foreign matter in the mouth

practice:

Look for broken teeth in the mouth or any broken teeth that may be stuck in the tongue area. If necessary, use a pair of tweezers to remove any other foreign matter from the mouth.

If the tear is 1/2 inch or longer and continues to bleed, take your child to a doctor or hospital for a checkup. Young children may need stitches in their wounds.
