How to treat baby's sprained foot

Sprained foot is a very common problem. When it happens, it needs to be improved immediately, otherwise it will have a great impact on the foot bones. Many people do not receive timely treatment after spraining their hind foot, which leads to bone hyperplasia in the foot. So what should you do after your baby sprains his foot? When your baby has such a situation, parents need to follow the following methods to improve it so that the sprain can be relieved.

How to improve baby's sprained foot:

① Reduce foot activities. Minor sprains do not require special treatment, just apply cold compress to the sprained area.

② Those with more serious cases should lie down to rest and use pillows to raise their calves. Then mix Wuhudan or Qilinsan with tea or white wine and apply it to the affected area and bandage it.

③After 24 to 48 hours, you can apply a hot water bottle or hot towel to the affected area.

④ After a child's ankle is sprained, it is easy to sprain it again. You can nail a piece of rubber or plastic to the back half of the outer side of the sole to raise the sole by half a centimeter to protect the ligament. Don't let your children run or jump on uneven roads, and children cannot wear high heels.

⑤ If the shape of your foot is deformed due to sprain, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Why can't children be massaged immediately after acute sprain?

① After an acute sprain, the capillaries will rupture. If massage is performed immediately, the capillary bleeding will be aggravated and cause hematoma.

② After an acute sprain, the surrounding soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments will be bruised, and immediate massage will aggravate the bruise.

③Acute sprains are sometimes accompanied by fractures. If massage is performed again, the displacement of the fracture will be aggravated. Therefore, massaging immediately after an acute sprain is like adding fuel to the fire, which only makes things worse.

After a baby sprains his foot, parents must be careful not to massage the foot, otherwise it will not help the baby's foot recovery. This is also introduced in detail above. At the same time, the baby's diet needs to be light, and the choice of spicy and seafood foods should be reduced, which is conducive to the recovery of foot injuries.
