What should I do if my child hits his chin and has a protrusion on the bone?

Because children are naturally active, it is inevitable that they will get bumps and bruises when playing at home or outside. As long as they are not serious, they will go away after a while. However, some parents have found that sometimes their children fall and hit their chins, causing their chins to swell up, as if the bone has suddenly grown larger, and they are afraid to deal with it. So, what should I do if my child bumps his chin and there is a protrusion on the bone?

When a collision occurs, the part of the body that is touched will swell and ache. At this time, wrap an ice cube in cotton cloth and apply a cold compress to the collision area. This is because of the principle of thermal expansion and thermal contraction.

If the skin epidermis is damaged, you should wipe it with alkali or other related medicines to reduce inflammation.

If you can't find ice at the time, wipe it with toothpaste, because toothpaste contains menthol, clove oil and other ingredients, which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, bactericidal and swelling effects, and can reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and reduce swelling.

Post-processing:

If there are lumps and bruises after more than 24 hours, you need to apply hot compresses with hot towels, but change them promptly to promote local blood circulation and have a blood stasis-removing effect.

Wrap hot rice in cotton cloth and rub the swollen area. Promote blood circulation, speed up the absorption and elimination of blood stasis,

If you don’t have rice at home, you can boil an egg, remove the eggshell, and roll the egg on the swollen area. It also promotes blood circulation and speeds up the absorption and elimination of blood stasis.

You can also wipe it with safflower oil, or other blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines.

Precautions

If the bruise is serious, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

During the treatment period, try not to eat dark-colored foods, especially soy sauce, to avoid aggravating pigment deposition.

Get as much rest as possible to avoid secondary injury.
