The physical condition of the baby needs to be carefully observed by the mother at all times. If the changes in the baby's body cannot be detected in a timely manner, it will be difficult to detect them when the baby is injured. Babies are very mischievous and often get injured. Some babies get swollen on the back of their hands because of their mischievousness. What should they do if the back of their hands becomes red and swollen?
1. Apply sesame oil
After the baby's hand is touched and swollen, the mother can apply some sesame oil to the baby. Sesame oil is pressed from sesame seeds, which have anti-inflammatory and pain relieving effects and can help babies relieve pain. But before applying sesame oil, the mother should observe whether the skin on the back of the baby's hand is damaged. If there are any damaged areas, the mother cannot apply sesame oil to the baby and must use other methods to relieve them.
2. Cold compress
After the baby's back of the hand becomes red and swollen, the mother can use a cold towel to apply ice to the baby, which can constrict the blood vessels and prevent further swelling. But mothers should never use hot towels to apply hot compress to their babies, as it can cause blood vessels to dilate and only make the back of their hands increasingly swollen.
3. Apply pain relieving ointment
If the back of the baby's hand is severely swollen and red, the mother should apply pain relieving ointment to the baby to relieve the pain. At the same time, it is necessary to check the baby in a timely manner to avoid any bone injuries that may not be detected in a timely manner. The best way is to take an X-ray with the baby, so that the condition of the baby's hand bones can be clearly seen at a glance.
