What anti-inflammatory medicine should a child take if he has a skin breakout?

It is inevitable that children will have bumps and bruises during their growth, and they are very easy to get injured after these bumps. Some children's bumps cause skin breakage. In this case, parents should take their children to the hospital to treat the wound in time. Do not treat the wound by yourself at home. You may not handle it cleanly at home, which can easily cause tetanus. In addition, children's resistance is relatively weak. If infection and inflammation occur, it will have a great impact on the child's physical health.

What should I do if my baby's forehead is broken?

The part of the baby that is most likely to get injured when it falls is the forehead, because babies usually fall because their center of gravity is unstable when they are running, and the forehead is obviously the first part to be injured. If a baby falls and injures his forehead, a minor injury will just break the skin, while a serious one will cause a crack that requires stitches.

Many new parents lack experience and don’t know what to do after their baby falls. Using the wrong method may be detrimental to the injury. This article introduces the correct way to deal with a baby's falls and how to prevent the baby from falling.

What to do if the baby's forehead is broken

1. Babies have poor tolerance to pain and often cry non-stop after falling. You can hold the baby in your arms and try to calm the baby so that the baby can cooperate in completing the wound treatment.

2. Since babies often fall directly to the ground, the wounds on their faces may be covered with a lot of dust and dirt. Therefore, use a cotton swab to gently remove any visible dust.

3. If your baby has an open wound after falling, you can go to the pharmacy to buy saline solution and rinse the wound and the edges of the wound.

4. After cleaning the wound, you can use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the baby. It is not recommended to use alcohol here because alcohol is too irritating and the baby's skin is relatively fragile, so it may sting the baby.

5. Since the disinfection time of hydrogen peroxide is short, you also need to use a cotton swab to apply iodine to the broken skin to reduce the invasion and reproduction of bacteria.

6. If too much medicine is applied, you need to use a cotton swab to absorb the moisture and keep the baby's broken skin dry. It should be noted that if the wound is very deep, you can choose to use a Band-Aid or gauze to wrap it.

How to prevent your child from falling

0-12 months

Baby characteristics: can roll over, touch objects, crawl, start to learn to walk, and has a relatively small range of activities;

Precautions:

1. Always stay with your baby and try not to let your baby out of your sight for even a few minutes, especially when your baby is on a bed, sofa, or chair. If the baby rolls over, he or she may fall and get hurt.

2. Choose a safe bed for your baby. The bed rails should be high and the partitions should have small gaps to prevent the baby from falling off the bed or climbing out of the bed.

3. When taking your baby out, the stroller must have a safety belt, and it must be fastened every time to prevent the baby from crawling around and falling off the stroller.

4. When the baby is learning to walk, let the baby take steps forward first; after the baby learns to walk, support the baby with both hands and let the baby walk slowly; after the baby can walk steadily, protect the baby from behind, or wrap the baby under the armpits with a belt and hold the belt.

1-3 years old

Baby characteristics: can walk but is unstable, falls easily, likes to run around, and often plays with friends;

Precautions:

1. Buy shoes with flat soles and sturdy backs for your baby, because the flat soles can provide stability for the feet, and the sturdy backs can prevent slipping when walking. In this way, the baby will walk more steadily in the shoes and fall less frequently.

2. If there are stairs at home, you should install a fence at the entrance of the stairs. Try not to let your baby go up and down the stairs alone, because if he falls down the stairs due to unstable walking, he may injure his head or limbs.

3. Put a special baby seat at home. The height of the seat should not be too high, and it is best to have a safety belt, so that the baby can sit on it safely while eating and is not easy to fall down;

4. When bathing your baby, do not leave the baby alone in the bathtub, because the baby is likely to climb out and fall accidentally, resulting in injury.

3-6 years old

Baby characteristics: likes to bump into others, fight occasionally, loves to play Peter Pan games, and still cannot fully understand what mom says;

Precautions:

1. Do not place large, hard objects in the middle of the living room, to prevent the baby from bumping into them while running around, causing the baby to fall to the ground and cry loudly;

2. The balcony guardrail at home should be set high, and the ladder should not be placed where the baby can easily touch it, otherwise the baby will climb the ladder and fall down if he is not stable;

3. Try not to let the older child look after the younger one, because if the older child is lazy, the younger one will easily fall down if he/she climbs on the table or chairs at will;

4. If the baby likes to play Peter Pan games and jumps down from the stool, the mother should educate him appropriately, otherwise, if an accident happens, she will regret it.

5. If you take your baby out to swing, try not to push too hard to prevent the baby from being thrown off due to excessive swing. In addition, try not to let your baby play on the swing by himself.
