What should I do if my child burns and blisters?

According to the specific situation of burns, different treatments are carried out. For example, the area of a child's scald is relatively large, and the bubbles in the scald look very serious. If it can't be handled at home, you need to go to the burn department of the hospital for medical treatment. But if it is a common minor burn or blister, mothers need to quickly let their children wash where there are bubbles above the flowing cold water. Or use ice to compress ice, expand with heat and contract with cold, so that bubbles will not expand again. Next is the anti-inflammatory step to prevent infection. If you have iodophor at home, you can dip it in your eyes and apply it. This is cleaning and disinfection.

All burns should be treated immediately. Of course, there is always a special ointment for burns at home, which is the best. In order to avoid wound infection, it is necessary to keep the wound clean and dry before bubble contraction to help the wound grow and recover.

Secondly, you must pay attention to your child's diet after burns. Don't let children eat spicy or irritating food. Try to let your child eat some light food, which will help the wound heal. The child is still young, the wound scabs, and it is inevitable that there will be itching. Parents must remind their children not to scratch with their hands to avoid leaving scars. It is safe to wait until the scalded bubbles slowly disappear. In order to ensure that there will be no scars, you can buy an aloe gel for your child at the drugstore and apply it regularly until the wound is completely recovered.

Whether scalded by boiling water or steam, washing the wound with tap water can reduce the temperature of the scalded skin and further damage the scalded area. At the same time, washing with water can also relieve pain. If the wound is not broken, soak 10-20 minutes or so. If the wound is broken, don't soak it again to avoid infection. If the burn area is too large, you should soak your whole body in the bathtub. You can't soak your face. You can also use a towel to apply water to the burned area.

For minor burns, experts suggest that you can apply some ointment to the burned area first, and then wrap it with clean gauze. After two days, untie the gauze and check the wound. If you get better, you should continue to apply some ointment and then bandage it. However, if you find an infection in the wound, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment immediately. In addition, direct sunlight should be avoided at the scalded area, and the wound after dressing should not touch water, and the scalded area should not move too much to avoid friction between the wound and gauze and increase the healing time of the wound.

Severe scald and burn refers to the second or third degree deep wound injury, or the scald area exceeds 5% of the body surface area. At this time, you should be sent to the hospital for medical treatment in time, and you should not apply drugs to the wound. Severe burns can lead to infection, septicemia, hypovolemic shock, scar hyperplasia in the later stage of wound, and affect appearance, limb movement and deformity. Parents should pay attention to it and not take it lightly.

For some parents, it is customary to apply toothpaste to their children after they are burned. Chen Chen warned that toothpaste should not be used immediately after burns. ? Toothpaste can make the hot air of skin radiate nowhere, and only spread to the depths of subcutaneous tissue, thus causing deeper damage. ? At the same time, you can't smear the wound with colored things such as soy sauce and pot ash. First of all, they have no therapeutic function; Secondly, color will affect the doctor's diagnosis.
