When a baby reaches the age of 2 to 4, he will slowly develop a sense of self, i.e., he thinks that he himself is the reason why things happen, e.g., he rotates a switch and a light comes on; he unscrews a faucet and water comes out. The self-consciousness of this period allows him to think only of himself as the cause of things that go wrong. For example, if he turns on a faucet, he thinks only about how to turn it on, not about the possibility that he might be scalded by the hot water that comes out. Babies of this age often believe that they are in control of what happens, which is called “fantasy thinking”. For example, if he pours water from a cup, he wants to see the effect of a waterfall in a picture or on TV, but he doesn’t think about the consequences of the water flowing out and burning him. Whether it’s self-awareness or fantasy thinking, it can be a threat to your baby’s safety. Especially after winter, hot water, hand warmers, heaters, electric heaters and so on, may increase the risk of scalding babies. So, this is the stage where moms and dads must be extra careful about their baby’s safety until they get through it. “What should I do if my baby gets burned?” Regardless of the cause of the burn, it is important to follow the formal treatment to avoid aggravating the injury and delaying treatment. Such an environment baby is easy to be scalded 1, hot water, hot rice on the baby is easy to touch Some parents pour water or just give the baby milk, a turn of effort, the baby may be because of scratching the bowl and was scalded by the water. Some families use rice cookers on the floor of the room, and when the rice is still hot, the baby may also be scalded. 2, the bath directly heating water or water heater adjusted temperature is too high The most suitable for the baby bath water temperature is 38-39 ℃, sometimes the water temperature is not appropriate, the mother would like to add some hot water again, the temperature of the water is not completely neutralized before not to put the baby in the bathtub. The temperature of the water heater is best adjusted to 49 degrees Celsius or below, to avoid the baby without authorization to unscrew the shower or faucet when he scalded him. 3, heating appliances too close to the baby already in November, the regions gradually began to heating, some heating better neighborhoods, the temperature of the heater in winter up to 55 ℃ or so. Other common electric heating equipment, the lowest convection heater, the surface temperature has reached 84.2 ℃, and the most common “small sun” up to 354.4 ℃! If the heater is next to the bed, do not let the baby sleep next to the heater. Some local areas are not heated, home heating using a small sun, more attention should be paid to the baby away from a little. Do not put sheets, clothes and other flammable and explosive dangerous items around. At the same time, electric blankets are not recommended for babies to use, even if the baby into the nest after the switch off is not. 4, hot water bags, hand warmers may also be scalded There is also a kind of scald called “low-temperature burns”. If the skin continues to contact a temperature of about 60 ℃ for more than 5 minutes, it will cause low temperature burns. For example, hot water bags and baby warmers. The baby’s skin is tender, according to the test, warm baby, the temperature can reach up to 63 ℃! Various types of hot water on the market have some hidden dangers. For example, rubber hot water bag, the higher the temperature of the water, the more pungent odor, the baby whistle is not good; electric hot water bag is easy to explode, scalding the baby; there are also some poor-quality water warming bag, easy to leak, wet comforter, clothes. Warm water bag must be bought without odor, good sealing. To the baby with a hot water bag, the water temperature should not be too high, slightly warm can be. Before going to bed, use the warm water bag to make the quilt hot, the baby into the quilt before taking out, do not always put in the quilt. 5, the kitchen is the most dangerous For the baby, the kitchen is a dangerous place, but also attractive to the baby. Parents often stay in the kitchen, the baby will of course be curious, here in the end what attractive things. Knives, forks, scissors, ovens, gas stoves and so on are full of dangers everywhere, and it’s easy to get burned or scalded! If your home has an open kitchen, remember to install a grate as well; if it’s a closed kitchen, remind every family member: close the door as you go! Don’t let your baby out of your sight There are several gradations of burns as follows Treatment varies according to different gradations Ⅰ degree: for epidermal layer injury. Localized mild redness, swelling, no blisters, pain obvious; Ⅱ degree: damage epidermis and dermis. Local redness, swelling and pain, with blisters of varying sizes; Ⅲ degree: injury to the whole skin layer necrosis or containing all layers of tissue below the skin (fat, muscle, bone). The injured place is gray or reddish brown. Scald treatment misunderstanding 1, apply toothpaste and soy sauce on the scald to achieve anti-inflammatory and relieve pain. Mistake. Apply toothpaste on the burns on the one hand will make the heat can not be dispersed, but also may cause infection of the wound, and at the same time because of the adhesion of the toothpaste, but also increase the difficulty of the doctor to deal with the wound; in the scalded place to apply soy sauce, may cause infection, and the color of the soy sauce will affect the doctor’s judgment of the wound. 2, found that the baby was burned, immediately take off the baby’s clothes Wrong. Parents want to take off the baby’s clothes to see the condition of the burns, the realization is very correct. In the process of taking off the clothes, there will be friction between the clothes and the wound, which may aggravate the burn. The correct approach: the baby’s clothes with scissors cut (cut should be careful to avoid the baby crying and get hurt again). 3, after the burn with ice packs Error. Place an ice pack on the wound, as the low temperature may cause the already broken skin wound to deteriorate and delay healing. 4.Use antiseptic drops to apply to the wound, such as violet drops and iodophor Wrong. Just burned has not been to the hospital in the case, it is best not to use the color of the potion, so as not to affect the doctor’s diagnosis. 5, puncture blisters Error. The second degree of scalding, scalding will have different sizes of blisters, parents unauthorized blisters, may be damaged because of the integrity of the scalding area of the skin leading to increased chances of bacterial infection. Correct treatment 1, away from the scalding object (hot water, chemicals); 2, rinse. Immediately after the burn, rinse the burned area with cool tap water and continue for 10 minutes, which can help your baby relieve pain; 3, take off. Soak the injured part of the clothes with cool water, and then take off the clothes carefully. If the clothes are tightly attached to the baby, cut them with scissors to avoid infection formed by the friction between the clothes and the wound. If there is no clothing at the wound, you can omit this step. 4, soak. Rinse until the baby is not so painful, soak the burned area in cool water. 5, apply (cover). If there are no blisters in the scalded area, cover the scalded surface with a piece of sterile gauze or clean, dry cotton cloth, and apply some scald cream yourself at home; 6, send. If there are blisters in the scalded area, do not puncture them, it is best to cover the scalded surface with a piece of sterile gauze (or clean cotton cloth), and seek medical help immediately; in the case of Ⅲ-degree burns, a simple bandage of sterile gauze (or clean cotton cloth) should be immediately applied to avoid contamination and re-injury, and the scalded surface should not be coated with medication to keep it clean and sent to the hospital for treatment quickly. This situation should be sent to the hospital (after completing the above treatment) 1, when the redness, swelling and pain last for several hours; 2, when the scald reaches II degree and above; 3, when the scald affects the face, hands, feet, genitals or joints related to movement; 5, when the baby is too small or keeps screaming and crying, and it is too difficult to deal with it at home. As home heating devices gradually come into use in winter, this is the time for parents to be doubly careful about the safety of their babies. Water heaters, radiators, hot water bags, kettles, electric blankets and so on may hurt the baby, before the winter it is best to check these and other dangerous supplies, that do not have to use, the attention of the must pay more attention!
