Children are quite mischievous and run and jump all day long, so they are particularly prone to falling, and some babies may even fall and get injured. At this point, parents need to make timely and correct decisions, and they should also have some knowledge of trauma management. So, what should I do if my baby falls and has a swollen face?
When a baby falls and their face swells, it indicates that their face has been impacted and rubbed during the fall, leading to swelling. At this time, parents need to immediately clean their children to reduce swelling and inflammation. If there is skin damage, it is necessary to disinfect after cleaning, apply blood activating and stasis removing drugs, and change the dressing on time.
For swelling, ice packs should be used for ice application, which can help dissipate heat and reduce swelling. And it can make the child feel more comfortable. If the pain is severe, they should go to the hospital for examination. The doctor will make the correct treatment and prescribe medication.
If the baby is very young, considering the fragility of their bones and organs, they should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Check for any fractures, such as nasal bone fractures. Once a fracture occurs, it should be promptly reduced. If it is only simple swelling, hot compress can be applied 24 hours later, which can activate the blood vessels in the baby's face and effectively reduce pain.
