What should I do if my child's face gets bruised?

Children are more naughty and active. When they cannot walk yet, they will crawl around. If parents do not take good care of them, it is easy for them to climb out of bed or bump into things. It is easy for children to get bruises on their faces after bumping into things. This situation has a great impact on the baby, and parents need to take timely measures to deal with it. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if your child’s face is bruised.

If your baby's face is accidentally bruised, it is best to treat it with ice compresses within 24 hours of the injury. Apply ice compresses for 20-30 minutes each time, and apply them several times a day to relieve pain and reduce swelling. After 24 hours, hot compresses can be used for care and treatment. Apply them for 30 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day, to speed up the disappearance and absorption of the bruises.

When babies just learn to walk, their steps are not stable yet, so they are very easy to fall. Some babies may even bruise their faces after falling. In this case, parents must promptly help their babies take the correct methods of care and treatment to help them relieve pain and speed up recovery. The commonly used and effective care methods are as follows:

1. Within 24 hours after the baby's face is bruised, parents must not massage the affected area to prevent the locally damaged blood vessels from bleeding more and causing the bruise to become larger. At this time, it is best to use ice compresses to treat the baby. The specific method is to apply ice cubes or other cold objects wrapped in a towel to the injured area as soon as possible. Apply ice compresses for 20-30 minutes each time, and apply them several times a day. This can not only help the baby relieve pain as soon as possible, but also promote capillary contraction to prevent continued bleeding in the affected area, thereby effectively reducing swelling symptoms. In addition, parents and friends would like to remind you that it is best to prepare some ice cubes in the refrigerator in advance to be prepared for any eventuality.

2. After the baby's face has been bruised for 24 hours, hot compress care can be used for treatment. The specific method is to soak a towel in hot water, wring it dry, and apply it to the injured area. After 5-10 minutes, when the towel becomes cold, replace it. Apply it for 30 minutes continuously, 1-2 times a day. Appropriate hot compress can effectively improve the blood circulation and lymph circulation of the affected area, thereby facilitating the dissipation and absorption of local congestion and exudate as soon as possible.
