Baby's skin is very tender, and many babies are lively and active, which can easily cause falls and skin abrasions. Generally, skin abrasions can be treated with ointment, but due to the baby's delicate skin, mothers do not know how to handle it. So, can babies apply ointment when their hands are broken?
If the baby has minor abrasions, there is no need to apply ointment. Just apply a little saline solution directly. The concentration of saline solution is low, and it is not painful to apply on the wound. At the same time, it is not easy to get infected. If the abrasions and skin damage are severe, ointment can be applied, but it should be disinfected first and then applied in moderation to avoid discomfort symptoms.
When a baby's skin is severely torn, the first thing to do is to clean the wound. The scraped area should be washed with clean water, and then disinfected with iodine or hydrogen peroxide. If there is bleeding, gauze should be used to stop the bleeding. Then, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for medication because professional medication is not usually available at home, and if the wound is large or deep, debridement and dressing changes are needed. Therefore, it is recommended to choose to go to the hospital for treatment as much as possible.
The younger the baby, the greater the impact of external factors on them. Therefore, mothers must pay more attention and not let the baby out of their sight. They should also create a safe environment for the baby to play in. When taking the baby on a trip, they must use a safety seat and check the carriage before getting off. Don't forget to bring the baby.
