What should I do if I got a big bump on my forehead after falling

The forehead is a person's face and an important part of protecting the head, so it is particularly important to us. The forehead mainly protects the brain and the soft tissue in the head, so try not to hit it hard, otherwise it may cause a big bump at the very least, or a concussion or brain tissue damage at the worst. These are even more important for babies. So what should mothers do if their baby gets a big bump on his forehead?

1. Ice

Within 24 hours after the baby hits his head, we can use ice to relieve the baby's pain, and ice can effectively prevent the wound from becoming congested! Avoid the situation where the baby's swelling area becomes bigger and bigger! But everyone must pay attention, if the baby keeps crying, you should stop in time and comfort the baby! Wait until the baby stops crying before continuing! Also, you cannot use ice cubes directly to apply the baby's wound. Instead, you should wrap it with a towel to avoid excessive low temperatures that may cause damage to the baby's skin!

2. Hot compress

24 hours after the baby is hit, you can no longer apply ice compress. Instead, you should apply hot compress. Hot compress can help promote blood circulation, soften the blood stasis caused by the wound, and thus eliminate swelling. However, everyone should pay attention that the temperature of the hot compress cannot be too high, otherwise it will easily cause burns to the baby!

3. Sesame oil

This mainly comes from the experience of the older generation. It is undeniable that sesame oil is indeed very effective in eliminating redness and swelling. The specific reason is that some elements contained in sesame oil are very effective in eliminating swelling. Therefore, when the baby falls and gets a big bump, parents can use sesame oil to apply the wound to help the baby reduce swelling!

4. Post-swelling

If the baby hits his head and it is broken and bleeding, you should first wipe off the blood and cover the wound with a towel, and then send the baby to the hospital for treatment. Never touch it with your hands, because bacteria may make the baby's wound more serious. If the wound is not broken, but just a big bump, then we can take some measures to quickly reduce the swelling.
