Babies are always active, which makes them more prone to falls and bumps. So parents need to learn some trauma management methods, so that when their children are injured, they can take the correct measures as soon as possible to minimize the harm to their children. So, how to solve the redness and swelling caused by baby bumps?
When a baby bumps and becomes red and swollen, if there are no wounds and the bones are fine, parents can take some measures to alleviate the pain for the child. For example, applying cold compress to the affected area within 24 hours of impact can alleviate pain and help reduce swelling. You can apply crushed ice or cold water to the swollen area. The first round should be cold applied for 20 minutes, and after stopping for 2 minutes, it should be cold applied again.
If a child experiences severe bumps or persistent pain, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If there is no sign of swelling in the child's swollen area after 2-3 days, or even if it becomes bigger and bigger, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
When a baby bumps and becomes red and swollen, parents will instinctively rub their child, thinking that this can relieve pain. In fact, this approach is wrong. Rubbing can worsen subcutaneous bleeding. In addition, when redness and swelling first appear, do not apply hot compress. Otherwise, it will increase subcutaneous bleeding and make the redness and swelling more severe.
