What to do if a one-week-old child's hands turn red due to freezing

Children's hands and feet must be kept warm in winter, otherwise they will easily get frostbite, causing great pain to the children. But some parents may still ignore this problem. So what should they do if a week-old child’s hands turn red from the cold? In addition to keeping your child warm, you can apply some frostbite medicine to your child. Since a one-week-old baby is too young, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions when choosing medication.

The cold winter can cause frostbite. Children’s resistance is not high, and it is common for them to get frostbite if they don’t keep warm well. Mothers are very sad when their children get frostbite, so they need a good solution to help them. In fact, it is not more troublesome to solve the problem of frostbite on children. What should I do if my child has frostbite? Yunnan Baiyao ointment can be used. If frostbite is solved, the child will feel more comfortable. Otherwise, swelling, itching and pain are inevitable.

1. Use frostbite cream to treat frostbite for babies

Parents feel sad when their children get frostbite, but when it comes to how to solve the problem, they don’t know where to start. In fact, you can just choose a good frostbite cream to treat your baby's frostbite, because modern ointments are pure natural and pollution-free. What I recommend to everyone is the Alligator Oil Frostbite Cream. Cover the affected area with a thin layer of ointment and gently massage to promote skin absorption. It will take about a week to take effect, but you still need to keep warm to prevent frostbite from recurring.

2. Use vinegar to treat chilblains in children

It is common to use vinegar to treat frostbite, and it is also suitable for babies because this method is quite natural. What should I do if my child has frostbite? Dip a towel in hot vinegar and rub it on the affected area for massage. After the vinegar dries, wipe it repeatedly. However, the recovery time may take a little longer. Although there are ways to treat frostbite in children, it is still worse than having no frostbite, so some protective measures should be taken.

3. How to prevent frostbite in children

In winter, children stay indoors more often, and their limbs do not move often, which reduces body heat, so it is common for them to get frostbite on their hands and feet. It is best to close the doors and windows tightly, and wear full clothing when going outside. Wear loose and fluffy clothes, and change your socks immediately if they get wet with sweat. In addition, let them eat more high-calorie foods, do more activities to improve blood circulation, and massage the parts that are prone to cold.
