Babies are always lively and active, and coupled with their unsteady walking, it is inevitable that they will bump into each other. In such emergency situations, adults sometimes immediately rub their wounds lightly with their hands. So, can babies be rubbed with their hands when they fall?
Babies should never be rubbed with their hands when they fall. Because after a baby falls, the capillaries in the injured area rupture, blood circulation accelerates, and there is usually a lump at the wound site. If you rub the damaged area with your hands at this time, it will cause the blood clot to enlarge, which not only fails to relieve the pain but also worsens it. So, in such a situation, one must remain calm and scientific in response.
Firstly, it is important to observe carefully. If the baby's wound is not large, there are no serious lumps, and the baby's crying is not severe, and their mental state is similar to usual, parents should not overly worry and should pay attention to observation at all times. Secondly, if the baby develops a serious lump after falling, do not rub it with your hands. Cold compress can be used to accelerate vascular constriction and reduce vascular dilation and swelling. If there is skin rupture and bleeding at the site of the fall, a medical cotton swab can be used for disinfection and cleaning, followed by applying a band aid. After stopping the bleeding, a cold compress can be applied. If the wound is too large, you can first use sterile gauze to hold it down, reduce bleeding, and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
After a baby falls, it is also important to distinguish the area of the fall. If it is the head, even if the baby behaves as usual, it must be closely observed. It is difficult to prevent a baby from falling, and it is important to choose a scientific and correct treatment method in a timely manner after falling, in order to avoid improper methods and causing a big disaster.
