Expert: Once scalded do not use a towel to tie Not a few children under 10 years old go to a burn center for treatment because of accidental burns. Many accidental burns occur under the carelessness of parents, and things happen after the use of towel tie, which can only play a side effect. Many children like to sit in the bath tub and enjoy the warm water from the inside, so when they see adults pouring water into the tub, they want to go in and take a bath, which leads to many disasters. The reason is that most children in this age group have just learned to crawl and walk, and are very active and imitative, but they are not aware of the dangers and do not know that hot water can scald people. Scalding becomes the leading cause of childhood accidental injuries “In China, accidental injuries are the leading cause of death among urban children aged 0-14 years old, of which more than 40% occur at home, and accidental scalding is the leading cause of injuries to children at home.” Most children suffer burns while engaged in recreational activities, and resting or eating is the second most common activity children engage in when they suffer burns. The average number of days a child spends in the hospital for burns is 15 days. Avoiding misconceptions after a child’s burns It is understood that many parents, in a hurry, will use toothpaste to smear and wrap with a towel after finding their child has been burned, which is obviously inappropriate. Experts pointed out that once the burns occurred, parents should remain calm, usually take the following “three words” first aid methods: First, “rushing”: rinse with running water. The second is “off”: in the water to carefully remove clothing. In order to avoid the heat on the clothing is not emitted and continue to act on the wound surface, so that the wound surface deepened. Third, “soak”: in cold water continued to soak the trauma for 30 minutes, until the trauma without pain. If you put a little salt in the cold water, and pain relief and swelling. Of course, the above treatment is only a simple emergency measure, and does not apply to children with large areas and serious burns. For serious burns, parents should immediately go to a professional burn treatment center.
