Children love to play and don't know what danger is, so they often fall and get injured. Some children will stand up and continue playing when they fall, while others will cry and fuss. The nose is relatively fragile among the five senses and is also prone to falls in children. Some parents may not know how to treat their baby's nose injuries. Next, let me tell you what to do if a baby falls and hurts their nose?
What should I do if my baby falls and hurts their nose
Child falls are a common accident. If a child is injured, in addition to dealing with the external trauma, attention should also be paid to whether there is any damage to the skull and internal organs. Infants and young children cannot express their condition verbally. Parents can judge based on their consciousness and expression. After injury, the child's expression may be dull, slow to react, or there may be vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, or uneven and intermittent breathing movements, all of which indicate severe illness and may be intracranial or visceral damage. Immediate medical attention should be sought.
If the wound is small and shallow after a fall, only the epidermis needs to be scraped. For non bleeding wounds, the injured surface should be cleaned with cold water in a timely manner, and the dirt should be washed away by rotating from the inside out. Red or purple solution should be applied. If the wound is large and bleeding is excessive, it is necessary to stop bleeding first, raise the injured area, and immediately send it to the hospital for treatment. If necessary, tetanus antitoxin or antibiotics can be used.
