Swollen back of child's hand

Children are generally naughty, and most of them are not very sensible, so they don’t know the severity of the problem when playing. But at the same time, children's skin is generally more delicate, so skin diseases are also common. Therefore, some parents found that their children's hands were swollen inexplicably while taking care of them. What's going on?

1. Most babies' sudden swelling on the back of their hands is caused by mosquito bites and insect bites, especially in summer. If you can find obvious bite marks on the back of the baby's hand, and the baby will scratch it with his hands, it can basically be concluded that it is caused by mosquito bites and insect bites. Mosquitoes release venom when biting people, which causes the local soft tissue to be irritated and become red and swollen. In particular, the baby's skin and subcutaneous tissue are relatively delicate and have poor resistance, so they are more prone to swelling problems. However, parents should also note that if the baby is stung by a bee or scorpion, or irritated by the hair of a caterpillar, not only will swelling occur, but also severe pain. It is best to seek medical diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.

2. Allergy is also a common cause of sudden swelling on the back of a baby's hand. Local symptoms such as redness, raised papules, and itching may also appear simultaneously. Parents should think about what the baby has recently touched or eaten, and avoid letting the baby touch these things again. Then ask the doctor to prescribe some medication for the baby's treatment.

3. The sudden swelling of the back of the baby's hand may also be caused by a fall, especially if the baby likes to run and jump, and may fall if he is not careful, resulting in injury to some part of the body. If the back of the baby's hand is swollen due to a fall, it may be accompanied by obvious pain symptoms. Parents should take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination in time to see if there are any tendon and bone injuries.

The above is the reason why the back of the baby’s hand suddenly swells up introduced to parents and friends today. I believe that after reading it, you will have a more comprehensive understanding of this knowledge. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that you must take good care of your baby’s daily life in daily life and teach your baby to learn self-protection to better reduce the chance of accidents.
