Children are very lively and always like to run and jump around, which inevitably leads to bumps, sometimes hitting their heads. If a child bumps their head, they cannot rub it with their hands, otherwise it is easy to aggravate the rupture of capillaries and increase the local hematoma. So, what should the baby do if they bump into a headband?
When the baby touches the headband, the first thing to do is to use a cold towel for cold compress treatment, which can make the blood vessels at the end of the skin contract and prevent subcutaneous capillaries from continuing to bleed. Wait until one day before applying hot compress, which can accelerate blood circulation and be very helpful for reducing swelling.
Parents should also pay attention to observing their children's injuries and reactions. If the baby does not show symptoms of unconsciousness, vomiting, drowsiness, or even coma, there will be no major problems. If the above symptoms occur, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, as it is likely caused by a concussion.
If a child's head is not only covered but also bleeding from external trauma, it is necessary to check the size of the wound and the amount of bleeding. If it is a small wound, it should be rinsed with physiological saline first and foreign objects should be cleaned. After disinfecting with iodine, just apply a band aid. When the wound is large and bleeding heavily, a clean towel can be used to press the wound, which can reduce bleeding. It is also necessary to promptly take the child to the emergency department of the hospital to bandage the wound.
