During the process of growing up, if parents do not take careful care of children, unexpected situations are inevitable. When the water is just boiling or when the food is just served, the heat is quite strong. If the child plays on the side without paying attention, they may accidentally get burned, which can cause strong pain to the skin and make them cry incessantly. So, what should a one year old child do if they get burned?
When a one year old child is burned, parents should not be flustered. Effective care should be taken at this time. You can rinse the burned area in cold water to relieve skin pain, but do not wipe it with a damp towel to avoid leaving scars on the skin. If the burn is severe, some burn ointment should be applied to treat it.
Parents should not immediately take off their children's clothes, especially those on burn areas, as this can cause friction on the skin, exacerbating the damage and even tearing off the epidermis. Parents can use scissors to cut off the sleeves to avoid clothing rubbing against the surface of the wound and reduce the possibility of wound deterioration.
If a child has blisters after being burned, parents should not blindly puncture the blisters to avoid infection caused by improper methods. The skin of the blisters should not be lifted off at will. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment and inject antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. After a burn, do not eat spicy or stimulating foods, and try not to eat some volatile substances as much as possible.
