Throughout the year, for people from the south, there may not be much change, and even the cold winter brings fewer difficulties. However, in the north, winter is relatively cold, and children are basically not allowed to go out in winter. If they want to go out in time, they also need to be wrapped very tightly. However, it is difficult to keep their faces warm. Let's learn what to do if a baby has frostbite on their face.
What should I do if my baby has frostbite on their face
Firstly, if a child has chilblains on their face, it is highly likely due to poor dietary habits. Many people may say that nowadays, children should eat, drink, and be cherished by their families. How could chilblains possibly occur on their faces? But I have to say that although the quality of life for many children has indeed greatly improved compared to before, we cannot deny that many children are particularly picky eaters and often do not eat certain foods. Over time, it is difficult to ensure that their nutritional components can be fully supplemented.
Furthermore, children have poor living habits. As we all know, this is an era of the internet, and many children have less space and time for outdoor activities. They spend their days at home watching cartoons, playing computer games, and even playing with their phones while eating. Lack of outdoor activities leads to poor physical fitness, weakened immunity, and either a cold or a fever. So, while we need to focus on our diet, we also need to encourage children to participate in more outdoor interactions, even if it's just going for a walk in the park downstairs.
What are the characteristics of frostbite on the face
The face is particularly prone to frostbite because the cold winter weather can cause significant damage to the exposed skin. At the beginning, patients may only feel some redness on their face, without any pain or itching. Gradually, they will notice that areas with redness and swelling will appear purple, accompanied by pain and itching. Especially when exposed to heat, the itching is particularly severe. If facial chilblains are not treated, blisters may appear and eventually ulceration may occur.
The skin on a baby's face is delicate and sensitive to the stimulation of air and temperature, which is also the reason why children are prone to frostbite. The recovery of frostbite does take some time, and it is more obvious at night or in a warm environment that the frostbite area will itch. You can gently touch it to relieve the scab and prevent it from falling off in time.
