Yesterday, I received a phone call from a friend whose child had been burned by boiling water, and the mother wanted to apply some toothpaste, while the child’s grandmother wanted to apply soy sauce, asking me what to apply in the end. I was quite surprised that this friend, who is a surgeon himself, wanted to use this kind of local remedy, so I hurriedly told him that both approaches were wrong. When a baby is burned, you can’t use the traditional local remedies, such as applying toothpaste and soy sauce to the burn, so how do mothers deal with it? Once the baby burns what to do? 1, to do is, away from the heat source to avoid further injury. 2, take off the baby’s clothes to expose the trauma. This time can not save, sometimes clothes will stick to the skin, so use scissors to cut off the clothes around the burns, never forcefully take off, there is a risk that the skin will stick off. 3, immediately rinse with clean cold water or soak the burns for half an hour, can quickly reduce the temperature of the burns, timely heat dissipation to reduce further damage, but can not use ice and other ice. Do not apply toothpaste, soy sauce, etc. to the burns, on the one hand, it may cause trauma infection and aggravate the condition, on the other hand, it will cover up the skin burns and affect the doctor’s judgment. If the scald is not serious, only red skin, no blistering, then rinse and apply scald cream to observe, generally do not need to dressing, as far as possible to expose the trauma, to help keep the trauma dry. If the scald is more serious, cold water rinse should be immediately after the doctor to deal with. Warm tip: In the family, there are many factors that cause baby burns, such as hot water bottles, vegetable soup knocked over by the baby, or hot water before cold water when bathing, or when setting off firecrackers and fireworks, all may cause baby burns. So in daily life, be alert to these factors and take greater precautions to avoid these flying disasters.
