What to do if your child's face is bruised

When the baby is around two years old, his bones are not fully developed and he is relatively weak. Especially when he has just learned to walk, he will often fall. If the child's face is bruised, you can apply ice compress to relieve the pain, and then apply some ointment to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If the face is bleeding, it must be bandaged, otherwise a serious infection will occur. Therefore, when children are playing, parents should accompany them and pay attention to their children's movements at all times.

At the beginning, after the baby falls, the baby will usually cry loudly. After the baby stops crying, check whether there is bleeding at the injured area. If not, give the baby some iodine to disinfect it first, because there will definitely be dirt on the baby's face due to bumps.

Next, prepare boiling water and a towel, wipe it with a hot towel, and then apply hot compress to the injured area on the face. Be careful to be gentle, as the baby's skin is very tender, and the bruises are not very obvious at this time.

After 8-10 minutes, the baby's swollen face will generally go away, but the black and purple spots inside cannot be avoided.

If you are not in a hurry, just wait for time to pass and it will subside naturally. If you want to get rid of it quickly, you need some non-irritating blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine, which are generally sold in pharmacies. Apply it to the affected area with a little force.

The blueness after a fall will definitely not recover within one or two days. For example, my baby has not recovered for almost 2 weeks. I usually apply a hot towel to the baby's face once in the morning, noon and evening, and rub it gently to stimulate blood circulation.

Gradually, the baby's face begins to become pink again, but you should not be careless at this time and observe whether there are scars. The above are the solutions to bruises on babies after falls.

Precautions

Do not use hot water to avoid burns

1. When the child is sleeping, put the side of the larger face toward the bed. After the child falls asleep, you can turn the child to the side and secure his back with a pillow. However, you cannot let the child sleep with the larger face facing downward for a long time. In fact, you should also sleep with the smaller face so that the larger face can be adjusted.

2. Parents should not be nervous. This may be because the child’s head tilts when sleeping. Don’t worry, as the child grows up, he or she will turn over, and the head shape will be good when sleeping, and the problem of face size can be adjusted by itself.

3. After parents adjust their children's sleeping position, it will gradually return to normal, but don't be too hasty. Just take good care of the children.

4. Regarding the face size issue, you should closely observe the child’s physical changes. If the child cannot adjust, contact the doctor in time. Let professional doctors give guidance. Some rehabilitation hospitals have some rehabilitation equipment. If there are major problems with the size of the child's face, timely adjustments should be made.

5. When there is a problem with the size of your face, you can choose high-nutrition health products to adjust it, such as bone-strengthening powder or foods rich in vitamin D.
