What should I do if my child’s feet are scalded? These methods need to be understood

If a child's feet are scalded, parents will definitely feel distressed, but don't panic. First, you need to determine the severity of the child's burns. If it is mild, you can use some simple methods to treat it. If the condition is serious, you can see a doctor.

1. Do not use colored liquid medicines such as red medicine and gentian violet on the wound surface, so as not to affect the doctor's judgment of the depth of the burn. Do not apply alkaline noodles, soy sauce wine, toothpaste, etc. randomly, so as not to cause infection.

Blisters can be punctured at a low position with a sterile needle, and the wound surface should be covered and protected with a sterile dressing or clean clothing during transportation;

It is worth noting that after a scald occurs, do not rub, massage, or squeeze the scalded skin, and do not rush to wipe it with a towel.

Guidance:

1. Leave. Move away from the heat source quickly to avoid further injury, and then use dry paper or cloth to absorb the water on the burned surface.

2. Cold. Treat the wound with cold water. If you have lard, you can use it to apply the entire burned area. This will prevent the "heat" from going inside and the recovery will be quick without leaving any scars.

3. Send. After simple treatment, if you are still worried, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Rinse with cold water immediately after being scalded. The rinsing time should be more than half an hour until you no longer feel pain when you stop rinsing. The general water temperature is about 20℃.

Guidance:

If blisters are formed, you can use a sterile syringe to suck out the water or cut a small hole to release the water; if the blisters are broken, wipe them dry with a sterile cotton ball to keep them dry and prevent the water from accumulating into lumps. Skin burns should be kept clean and dry.

3. The child’s feet are burned. If the pain is severe, use fresh tofu and sugar, mix them together until they are crushed, and apply it to the affected area to relieve the pain in time.

Guidance:

It is recommended that if the affected area has been bandaged, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamin C to prevent infection. If the affected area is not bandaged, you can use burn ointment or badger oil for treatment.

4. The wound can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, then with normal saline, wiped dry with a cotton swab, and then kept dry. Take some anti-inflammatory drugs, disinfect with iodine-based disinfectants, and then apply moist burn ointment. During this period, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and do not eat spicy and irritating foods, especially fish, shrimp, and mutton.
