Parents must be fully alert during their children's growth process, as unexpected situations may arise at any time, whether they are touched or dropped, causing many parents to be heartbroken. Now let's take a look at what to do if the child's hand is burned by boiling water?
1. When a child is burned, the first thing to do is to put their hands under flowing cold water for brewing. The brewing time should be determined by the degree of burns, usually around 20-30 minutes. After brewing, use a wet towel for cold compress treatment, ensuring that the burned area is completely cooled and there are no bubbles.
2. If the burned area of the child already has bubbles, it is not advisable to break the blisters to avoid infection. Instead, the clothes that adhere to the injured area should be cut off and the child should be promptly taken to the hospital for treatment of the blisters. If there are no blisters yet, you can first disinfect the wound with disinfectants such as iodine and alcohol, and then apply ointment for treating burns, which can help accelerate wound healing to some extent.
3. After a child's hand is burned, disinfection and isolation measures should be taken. Clean and dry gauze can be used to wrap the wound, and it is important to remember that the wound should not come into contact with water and dust to avoid infection. A light diet should be maintained in daily life, and spicy foods should not be eaten to avoid stimulating the wound and hindering its recovery.
