A 1-year-old child was burnt, and Bao Ma used cold water to rush according to common sense. She was sent to the hospital but was scolded by doctors.

Some children pick up hot soup with one hand while eating, and the little hand immediately looks like a stewed pig's trotter. Before the bath water and cold water were mixed together, the child accidentally fell into it and cried aloud. The child tore the tablecloth and the porridge on the table immediately fell on the baby's skin. Every novice mother encounters a variety of emergencies when taking care of her children. For example, burns are the most common. Not long ago, two children were burnt by boiling water, and both mothers were washed with cold water, but one of them was criticized by doctors.

The child was burnt once when he was 1 year old and 2 months old. At that time, my mother was washing her hands in the bathroom. When she heard the sound of “wow” in the living room, the mother instinctively rushed out and saw the child raise her hand and cried aloud. At that moment, my mother's heartbeat accelerated, and her brain was blank. The frightened mother immediately rushed to the toilet with her child, quickly opened the faucet and washed her hands in cold water. At that time, my mother thought: "It's all over, his little hand must have been burnt by hot water!"

After washing for about 15 minutes, I saw that his little hand was not red and the child did not cry. Mother found a piece of gauze wrapped around the scalded little hand and rushed to the hospital. Thanks to timely treatment at the time, the burn area was not large. After the examination, the doctor opened the burn medicine and praised the mother's method very scientifically.

The second mother is not so lucky. Her child was burnt with boiling water when she was one year old. In order to alleviate the child's pain, the mother took off the clothes and washed the children with cold water. However, the child immediately cried and became more painful. The mother felt that the situation was wrong and immediately took the child to the doctor. After being sent to the hospital, she was scolded too impulsively. The mother's behavior caused more serious skin damage to the child. In the end, it took nearly 10,000 yuan to rectify it.

In this regard, many people will certainly not understand, if the child is burned, how to deal with it?

First, let us know the extent of burns, mainly in the following aspects: Level 1: epidermal damage. Local mild redness, no water bubbles, obvious pain; secondary: epidermal and dermal damage. Local swelling and pain, blisters of different sizes; Tertiary: damaged skin with full-thickness necrosis or subcutaneous tissue (fat, muscle, bone). The injured area is gray or reddish brown. After clearing the level of burns, Bao Ma will deal with it in time.

Flushing

After the child is burnt, parents must calm down and rinse the burned area with cold water to ensure cooling for 15-30 minutes.

It should be noted that:

Do not use toothpaste, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. This will not only cause infection, but also increase the difficulty of wound treatment. In the process of cooling, it is also not allowed to wash or apply ice cubes with ice water, which will aggravate skin damage and is not conducive to wound healing.

2. Undressing

If the burned area is covered by the clothes, gently wash off the clothes covering the wound according to the situation, if the clothes and the skin are clearly adhered. Use scissors to cut off the clothes that don't stick to your skin and wait for the doctor to handle the adhesion between the skin and the clothes.

It should be noted that:

If you take off your clothes without washing, it is easy to cause secondary damage, and even tear off a piece of skin, leaving scars and aggravating injuries.

3. Coverage

After soaking in cold water for 10-30 minutes, gently cover the burned area with gauze or towel to avoid infection.

It should be noted that:

Can not use hair, stuffing, toilet paper and other items, easy to adhere to the wound, increase the difficulty of treatment, induce infection.

4. Go to the doctor

After the first three steps of emergency treatment, take a doctor to see a doctor, so as not to delay the best treatment opportunity.

It should be noted that:

Calm your child's emotions, don't smear anything on your child, protect your wounds for treatment.
