What are the treatment steps for minor burns? Scalding is a common phenomenon. There are many cases of being burned accidentally in life, such as boiling water or lighters. So if there is a burn, what steps can be taken?
What are the treatment steps for minor burns? Step 1: After giving the child a bath with cold water, the first thing parents should do is to cool the burned area. Therefore, the scalded area must be washed immediately with flowing cold water. Generally, the washing time is about 15 to 20 minutes, which can often have a good relief effect.
Then some parents may think, since the wound should be cooled and washed with ice water, will it be better?
This will actually be counterproductive, because it may cause frostbite in the wound, so choose cold water that is consistent with the indoor temperature.
Step 2: Take off your clothes because many children are still wearing clothes when they are burned. After washing with cold water, parents can try to help their children undress.
However, because clothes may rub wounds and easily make children feel pain, parents must be careful when taking off their clothes.
However, some children's clothes have been stuck to the wound because of severe burns. Try not to take them off forcibly. It is best to send the child to the hospital in time and seek professional help.
Step 3: Dress the wound. After the child is scalded, parents can dress up the child's scald a little after the above two steps.
But the dressing mentioned here is not to wrap the child's scalded wound tightly, but because it is airtight, it will lead to a large number of bacteria multiplication.
Because many children have skin injuries after scalding, parents need to cover the treated wounds to prevent dust, wool and other things from falling on the wounds.
So parents can gently cover their children's burns with sterile gauze. If it is difficult to find sterile gauze for a while, they can also choose clean and dry towels and sheets to cover the wound.
What are the treatment methods for minor burns? Step 2: Treatment after burn. Dilute with cold water. After being scalded by boiling water, wash the scalded area with cold water as soon as possible, so that cold water can quickly wash out hot water, so that the scalded area can be relieved in time to avoid scarring. However, it is not allowed to use too cold water or ice to compress the scalded area, so as to avoid unacceptable skin and further damage.
Treatment method after scald 2; We all know that toothpaste can remove stains, but we don't know that toothpaste can also calm the skin, diminish inflammation and sterilize. After being burned, we need to apply a lot of toothpaste to the burned area in time, and change the toothpaste every few minutes, so as to calm the skin and avoid leaving scars easily.
Treatment method after scald 3; Apply ginger juice; Because ginger has the function of relieving pain and swelling, if you accidentally burn it, you can peel it off with a knife, then wrap it in gauze and crush it, apply the crushed ginger juice to the burned part, then wipe the ginger powder off the gauze, gently wrap it in gauze and pour some ginger juice on it from time to time. It will be ready in two or three days.
Comments and suggestions; The above is the treatment method after scald that I collected for you. You must not panic after scalding, and you must deal with it promptly and quickly. If the burn is serious, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time. Don't let your child play in places where it is easy to burn, so as not to cause burns.
Scalding is a common disease in daily life. Pay attention to the relevant treatment after scalding, otherwise it is easy to infect the wound.
1, if a part of the body has just been scalded by boiling water, it can be washed with tap water, which can reduce the temperature of the scalded skin, reduce further damage to the scalded part, and also alleviate the pain of scalding.
2. When a burn occurs, be sure to stay away from the heat source in time, and take off your clothes quickly and carefully at the burn site to expose the wound. If you can't take off your clothes, you can cut them with scissors. Do not remove it forcibly, so as not to damage the wound.
3. If blisters appear after scalding, they must be handled correctly. If there is a big blister after scald, it can be punctured with a sterile needle and then washed with hydrogen peroxide to prevent the wound from purulent infection, which will affect the drug absorption of the wound surface and is not conducive to the wound recovery. Be sure not to tear it by hand, otherwise it will easily lead to wound infection and inflammation.
4. Give some scald medicine to the wound. If there is no scald medicine, aloe juice can be evenly applied to the wound, and care should be taken not to bandage it, so as not to affect the recovery speed of the wound and cause long-term unhealed phenomenon.
After the introduction of the above content, do you all know how to deal with the problem correctly after scalding? The appearance of scald has brought great harm to our healthy skin, and if it is not treated in time, it is likely to cause more serious consequences. Therefore, in the face of the appearance of burns, everyone should attach great importance to it, not ignore it, and cooperate with doctors in time.
What are the treatment steps for minor burns? 3 how to prevent children from being burned?
After the child is burned, not only the child will be very painful, but also the parents will be very distressed. Therefore, in daily life, it is particularly important for parents to prevent their children from being burned.
Especially in the hot summer, children wear less clothes, and once they are burned, the consequences will be very serious, so parents can't ignore the prevention work in this area.
① Eliminate potential safety hazards.
In order to prevent children from being burned, the first thing parents should do is to eliminate hidden dangers at home and create a safer family environment.
Because many times, although parents will put away some large items that are easy to burn, many parents will not pay special attention to small items such as tea cups, which may easily cause children to burn.
Things that have just been used by some parents and are still warm, it is best not to put them where children can reach them.
Because sometimes, parents will inevitably take care of their children at home alone, so when cooking in the kitchen, we should pay attention to avoid children entering the kitchen, which can reduce the possibility of children being burned.
(2) Improve adult's awareness of prevention.
In order to prevent children from being burned, parents should not only eliminate potential safety hazards at home, but also raise awareness of prevention. Because many parents are not particularly aware of the prevention of burns, it is easy to lead to tragedy.
For example, in winter, because of the low temperature, many parents will give their children hot water bottles or stick warm babies.
However, it ignores that hot water bottles and warm babies may have cryogenic burns after being used for a long time, and children's skin is delicate, so the probability of this situation will be higher.
However, many parents do not have this awareness, so they will inadvertently bring hidden dangers to their children's safety.
When parents let their children use or touch things with heat, they must think about it in advance, whether it will bring safety hazards to their children and how to prevent them from being hurt.
3 educate children.
If parents want to avoid scalding their children, they should not only improve their safety awareness and eliminate a series of hidden dangers at home, but also educate their children accordingly and tell them the seriousness of scalding.
Because many children are burned, in fact, they don't know what kind of danger burns will bring them. Even some children will think that everything their parents say is just alarmist.
Therefore, when parents educate their children about safety, they must let them know how burns are formed. What kind of danger will it bring?
Therefore, parents can let their children touch some hot objects slightly while ensuring their safety, so that they can feel the feeling of being burned.
When the child is scalded, there are some obvious discomforts, and parents can educate them in time.
If parents are accidentally burned in their daily lives, they can take this opportunity to explain to their children in person, and a little exaggeration can tell them what it feels like to be burned.
Then, after seeing these parents' performances, children often have a fear of things with heat sources, so they stay away, so as to avoid the danger of scalding their children.
After the child is scalded, parents should first keep calm, so as to deal with the child's scald problem rationally. Scalding is not a trivial matter. Parents must instill safety awareness in their children in their daily lives in order to fundamentally avoid the occurrence of scalding incidents.
In addition, parents should also inform their children of some safety problems that are easy to occur in life, such as electric shock and drowning.
Therefore, only by eliminating these possible hidden dangers in daily life can children grow up safely and healthily.
