Shenzhen dermatologist Xu Xiangqian has treated many scalded children, and found that after the child is burned, parents will often send them to the hospital immediately after they are burned. Such an action actually missed the best time for their children to treat!
So he reminded parents on his personal science popularization platform, children should not be sent to the hospital immediately after being scalded!
After scalding, you must follow these 5 words, and you must not miss any step
The first word: rush
This step is to take the child under the mobile faucet after scalding, and rinse with cold water for 15 to 30 minutes.
In the process of cooling water, cool water can cool down the skin of the child's scald , so that the child's burns can be avoided from further developing and becoming more serious.
When rinsing, please note:
① The water cannot be too large or too small
When the water is too large, if the child is scalded seriously, it may flush out the child's skin. If the water is too small, it will not be able to cool down well.
probably means that the water rinses off and does not have much pressure on the skin, but it can cool the skin.
②Only rush to the parts where the child is burned
We The only thing that needs to cool down is the parts where the child is burned. When , be careful not to rush to other places of the child, especially when the weather is cold in autumn and winter, so as to prevent the child from catching a cold.
The second word: Take off
If the child is covered by clothes when burned, take off the clothes in time.
If the scalding is not particularly serious, the skin and clothes can be separated in time, then take it off directly.
If the burned part is already sticky with the child's skin, you need to cut off the clothes next to it and peel them off slowly . It's really sticky, so don't forcefully pull the child's skin.
Be careful when taking off, do not cause blisters or cause secondary damage to the child's skin.
The third word: soak
Take off the child's clothes and put them in cold water for for 15 to 20 minutes to further cool down, soaking the child's burns and scalds can prevent the child from becoming more serious.
Of course, if the child's scald area is just a little red and not particularly serious, then there is no need to soak it. At this point, just apply some scald cream to the child directly.
The fourth word: Cover
If the child is seriously burned, the skin may have a wound. At this time, you should use clean gauze , or a clean towel at home to cover the child's wound to avoid bacteria in the air contamination of the wound and cause to be infected with again.
The fifth word: Send
