What to do if your child's hand is swollen

If parents do not take good care of their children, the children may fall and their hands may land on the ground first, which will cause the hands to swell. When this happens, cold compresses should be used to reduce swelling. In addition, parents should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if there are any problems with the child's bones. If there are no problems, some blood-activating and pain-relieving drugs can be taken. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What to do if your child's hand is swollen

There were no symptoms at the time, but swelling appeared two hours later. We recommended that the child go to the hospital for an X-ray to rule out any fractures. Provide symptomatic treatment based on examination results. Children can be given amoxicillin granules and blood-activating and analgesic capsules, and safflower oil can also be applied externally. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. Generally, it takes about 10 days of continuous treatment to recover.

Common sense in taking care of your baby

1. To prevent red spots, clean, dry and reduce friction.

"The baby's bottom is red, it's all because of the diapers!" Diapers: We don't take the blame!

Baby red buttocks generally refers to diaper rash, which is mainly caused by the soft skin of newborn babies, the failure to change diapers or diapers in time after urination and defecation, and the failure to wipe the buttocks, resulting in skin soaking.

To effectively prevent it, you must master three tips: clean, dry, reduce friction, and change frequently!

If it has already happened, try to keep the affected area dry and clean. For mild cases, apply zinc oxide or vaseline. For severe cases, take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

2. If your baby has abdominal pain, massage or hot compress can relieve it.

I am most afraid of my baby’s stomachache! When my baby has a stomachache, I should first observe the severity and progress of the pain.

If pathological abdominal pain is ruled out and the pain is not severe and there are no obvious abnormalities, you can apply a hot towel or massage in a clockwise direction. You can also try the airplane hold to help your baby relieve the pain.

If the abdominal pain is severe and acute, accompanied by vomiting and other symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

3. Let your baby bask in the sun occasionally to keep him healthy.

Late teething, less and yellow hair, slow growth, not eating, not sleeping...are all caused by calcium deficiency?

"Calcium" means a bit unfair!

All kinds of problems with the baby's development need to be analyzed specifically according to the specific causes. For example, if teething is late, there are individual differences among babies, and the timing of teething is not exactly the same, it does not necessarily mean that there is a lack of calcium!

If you really want to supplement calcium, you might as well take your baby out to bask in the sun, which can also improve immunity. But be careful not to overexert yourself in the sun; morning and evening are best.

4. It’s not a big deal if the baby hiccups.

When the baby hiccups, his face turns red, and sometimes he hiccups while crying. Is this an abnormal reaction?

In fact, hiccups are very common. The cause of hiccups is the incomplete development of the baby's diaphragm regulating nerves. Once they are fully developed, the hiccups will also decrease.

In addition, it may be that the baby inhales too much air while feeding, or sucks breast milk too quickly. It will be fine if you control the feeding speed.
