In summer, there are more mosquitoes and insects, and it is common to be bitten by them. Some families often use mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes. However, when there is a baby at home, it is not advisable to burn mosquito coils, so some parents may use electric mosquito swatters to repel mosquitoes. However, due to the lively and active nature of the baby, they may sometimes be accidentally injured by electric mosquito swatters. So, what should I do if my baby is electrocuted by mosquitoes?
1. The electric mosquito swatter is a low-voltage DC power supply system, which can convert low-voltage current into low-voltage high-frequency through electronic coils. The output voltage can reach kilovolts, but the output current is very small, so the kinetic energy is not large, and it can kill mosquitoes. However, it generally does not cause significant harm to the human body, only instantaneous high-frequency voltage, which may burn the local skin.
2. After a baby is accidentally electrocuted by an electric mosquito, parents need to promptly observe whether there are any burns on the skin area where the baby is electrocuted. This type of electric burn will not cause damage to the baby's internal organs, so parents should not worry too much. If there is a local electric burn, it is necessary to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for treatment. Under the guidance of a physician, use disinfectant and anti-inflammatory ointment to treat the burn and apply it locally for care. Be careful not to let the skin of the burned area get wet during this period to avoid infection.
3. In addition, electric mosquito swatters used at home should be kept out of reach of babies in the future. After each use, it is important to store it promptly and not casually. After all, babies have a lively and active nature, so it is important to pay attention to the safe use and storage of household electric mosquito swatters.
