Cut your feet at the beach?

When you go to the beach to play, it is inevitable that your feet will be scratched. If it is not serious, pay more attention to keeping the affected area clean and hygienic. It is best not to get it wet. If the scratch is serious, you must stop the bleeding first and disinfect it to prevent the wound from becoming infected and inflamed. You also need to change the dressing on time. In life, you must develop good living habits and good eating habits.

1. How to deal with a scratched baby's hand?

1.1. Minor wounds

If the child's wound is small, you can first rinse the wound with cold boiled water, then disinfect it with iodine, raise the affected arm to stop the bleeding, and then wrap it with a Band-Aid.

1.2. Large wounds

If the child's wound is deep and large, and there is a lot of bleeding, you should stop the bleeding and take the child to the hospital immediately so that the doctor can provide professional bandaging and treatment for the child.

1.3. Scratches by dirty sharp objects

If a child is stabbed by a dirty, rusty sharp object or nail, it should be noted that new nails are more dangerous than old nails. The mother should take the child to the hospital for treatment in time and give him a tetanus shot to avoid tetanus infection.

1.4. Bleeding from wounds

If the child is scratched and bleeding, the mother can first apply pressure on the wound. If the bleeding is not particularly fast, do not press it immediately. Bleeding can bring out dirty foreign objects and is not likely to cause infection. Then wait for the bleeding to stop, apply iodine to the wound for disinfection, and then wrap it tightly with an adhesive bandage, trying to avoid movement of the wound.

1.5. The wound does not bleed

If the child is scratched or has minor marks without bleeding, then it is fine. If there are obvious signs of scratches, then the wound is likely to be too deep. To be on the safe side, it may be an internal injury. The mother needs to take the child to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. What should you pay attention to when your baby scratches his hand?

2.1. Determine the depth of the wound

If the baby's hand artery is injured and heavy bleeding occurs, you can use a tourniquet or elastic hose to tie 1/3 of the upper arm to stop the bleeding. However, when sent to the hospital for surgery, the tourniquet should be loosened for 5 to 10 minutes every hour to avoid ischemic necrosis of the hand. Be careful not to use nylon thread, electric wire, etc. to tie the wrist or upper arm. Otherwise, it will not only fail to stop the bleeding, but will aggravate the bleeding, and some may even cause necrosis of the fingers.

Change the dressing daily. Your doctor may recommend leaving the wound uncovered at night so that it can heal faster when exposed to air. When changing the dressing, pay attention to whether there is redness around the wound and whether it is spreading outwards. If so, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

If redness or swelling appears around the cut 1-2 days after the cut, it means infection has occurred and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your baby is cut by a dirty or rusty sharp object, you should take him to the hospital for treatment in time and give him a tetanus antitoxin injection.
