Many babies may experience mischievous behavior when they are young, often causing injuries all over their bodies. Many babies have excessive energy and swollen lips when they are young, which makes mothers feel heartbroken. What should be done if a baby's lips are swollen and need to be treated in a timely manner?
1. In the early stages, cold compress can be used to reduce lip swelling. Two days later, a towel can be used for hot compress to promote the absorption of swelling. The baby can be taken to the hospital for ear, nose, and throat examination. If it's cold compress, you can use an ice pack. If you don't have an ice pack at home, you can also use a towel wrapped in ice cubes for cold compress. For hot compress, use a warm towel to apply to the affected area, pay attention to the hygiene of the towel, and disinfect it before use to avoid infection.
2. It is necessary to take anti-inflammatory drugs. If a baby's lips are swollen, it is recommended to choose anti-inflammatory drugs. Under the guidance of a doctor, choose the appropriate medication for the baby, adjust their diet accordingly, eat less raw, cold, and spicy foods, and drink plenty of water during treatment.
3. If the baby's lips fall severely, attention should be paid to whether there is an infection. It is recommended to rinse the mouth with salt water before treatment to avoid infection at the wound site. If there is an infection, medication should be used for treatment first, and attention should be paid to observing changes in the baby's questioning.
