No matter how careful parents are, babies will always have abnormal situations. Some babies suddenly fall, some babies suddenly scratch, and some babies suddenly swell their hands. Mom doesn't know what caused it, so what if the baby's hand suddenly swells?
1. Salt is not recommended for babies when they are young. When babies eat too much salt, they may experience swelling. Mothers should pay attention to their baby's intake of salt.
2. Sometimes babies drink too much water at night, or their hands hang down for too long, causing swelling. At this time, lifting the baby's hands can relieve the degree of swelling.
3. Summer is the season for mosquito bites. When a baby's hand is bitten by mosquitoes, there are no bite marks at the beginning, and when the baby itches, they always scratch it with their own hands. Baby's skin tissue is relatively thin, which can cause local skin to become red and swollen due to irritation. If this is the case, the mother can apply some skincare products specifically designed for mosquito bites on the baby's swelling.
4. Another situation is caused by allergies, which may be due to the baby eating certain foods or coming into contact with certain things. The mother should take the baby to see a doctor to identify the cause before seeking treatment.
If a baby's hands suddenly swell, the mother must treat the baby's own symptoms and help alleviate the situation.
