How to prevent burns in children?

Infants 1 to 4 years old have strong curiosity and poor self-control. They want to touch and touch everything when they see it, but they have no knowledge of danger. As a parent, if you neglect supervision, you will be in serious trouble.


I have many scalds in the children who were treated in burn surgery, accounting for about 1/2 of the burn patients, and most of them are 1 to 4 years old. Most of the causes of injury were hydrothermal scalds, which were found in all parts, most of which were II degrees. Children's skin is delicate. Once injured, the consequences are more serious, so prevention should be the focus.


Here are some examples to illustrate how pediatric burns and burns occur.


1. Generally, parents should wash their children's lower body at night, etc. Some parents pour hot water into the basin first, then cold water. Unfortunately, the child sat down on the buttocks after the hot water was poured, resulting in burns.


2, some children are active, pull the thermos on the table with their hands, resulting in burns.


3. Some rural children climbed up the pan and fell into the hot water pan, causing severe burns.


4, some kindergarten children ran into an aunt holding hot soup while eating, resulting in head, neck and burns.


5, some children are naughty, playing with fire, touching the wires, falling into the lime pond and causing burns.


There are many examples of the above, and some of them are even severely wounded, which is terrible and endangers life. As a child's parent, we must attach importance to ideology. As a precautionary measure: First, children must be supervised, and they must not leave their sight, otherwise accidents are very likely to occur. The second is to provide safety education to sensible children to avoid accidents. The third is to keep the dangerous goods that are easy to be injured properly, and never let them get them. Fourth, do not let elderly people take their children alone, otherwise accidents are easy.


Dr. Wu emphasized prevention as the treatment of the disease, which was more effective. If you are negligent, once you have a burn or burn you will regret it, which will seriously affect your child's life. I hope that parents with young children at home must pay attention to keep their children away from misfortunes and grow up healthy.
