The weather is cold, and the baby's hands feel swollen. What can I do to prevent it from freezing? Is there any way?

The snow has come. Is the baby's hand swollen with cold? Whether or not, it depends on the most comprehensive protective measures summarized by pediatricians!

Precautions: Keep warm. If you want to prevent the baby's hand from freezing and swelling, then we must first understand the reason for it. Some people will definitely say that they are frozen because of the cold. Indeed, cold is the most direct cause of redness, frostbite and so on. So keeping warm is the first step to prevent your baby's hands from freezing.

In the cold winter, Ma Bao should choose clothes with good warmth, such as down jacket, which is light, breathable and warm, especially suitable for babies.

In addition, the baby should pay attention to protection when going out. Hats, scarves, gloves and ear warmers must be tidied up. Such comprehensive warm-keeping measures have been taken. If the baby's hand is frozen and swollen again, it really doesn't make sense!

Local massage

Cold is indeed the direct cause of baby's hand swelling, but poor blood circulation can also lead to baby's hand swelling. Therefore, give some local massage to the baby's hands to make their blood circulation smooth, and also effectively prevent the baby's hands from being frozen and swollen.

In addition to massage, parents taking their baby to do more exercise can also promote blood circulation, and can also enhance the baby's physique, so that he has stronger resistance in the cold winter.

Apply skin care products in advance

Many parents don't understand why their baby's hands are more prone to freezing and swelling. In fact, this is because the baby's skin radiates heat quickly, and the baby's hands are rich in blood vessels and sensitive to the external temperature, so it is more susceptible to temperature.

Therefore, when the weather starts to get cold, parents can prepare some oily skin care products for their baby in advance, such as wiping his hands with vaseline every day, which can form a protective layer on the baby's skin surface, which is conducive to reducing heat loss and protecting the baby's hands from frostbite.

Mitigation measures: local medication

It doesn't matter if the baby's hands are swollen with cold. You can still "save" frostbite before it forms. Let the frozen parts gradually recover their body temperature, and then apply some moisturizing ointment such as glycerin or chilblain cream for a period of time, which can effectively relieve redness and swelling.

If the baby's hand has formed frostbite, you can use some antibiotic ointment to prevent infection, but if the frostbite has broken, you still have to go to the hospital for treatment. After all, frostbite is easy to leave scars, so it is better to see a doctor as soon as possible!

In addition to the above points, parents should also pay attention to adjusting their baby's diet, so that he can eat more foods rich in calories and vitamins. The accumulated calories in the body can effectively fight colds!
