Without which it is impossible even to imagine a single healthy child? Motionless! And the endless running and jumping often end in the same way - cones, bruises and bruises. Often after a fall, only a wet cloth is needed to clean up the knees and palms, but sometimes a lump can appear on the head. In most cases, he does not pose a particular danger, but it is necessary to check whether everything is with the child in order.
First aid
If a hard or soft knob on the head of a child appears in front of parents, then you can take action and prevent it from "growing up" at all. What measures to take? To do this, it should be understood that the cone is an injury that occurs when the soft tissue that is adjacent to the bone strikes. Vessels are torn and a small bruise is formed, that is, a bruise. He is called a bumpkin. If a cold compress or something from the refrigerator is applied to the site of the bruise within the first few minutes, then bumps may not exist at all. The main thing is to apply the compress tightly, but through the fabric, so as not to overcool the skin. Remember, if a child has a lump on the back of his neck or on his forehead, then it's impossible to pour his head with cold water! So you not only will not get rid of the cones, but it is also possible to provide the baby with a cold. And further. Cold compresses are not used if the child has filled a cone and at the same time damaged the skin (wound, bleeding, lacerated edges). In such cases, disinfection is needed, and better - medical assistance.
Getting rid of cones
Mom was not there, there was nothing cold at hand and as a result - a big bump in the child still grew. First, do not panic and do not get scared of its appearance. So you can scare the child, which will not be beneficial for removing the stress of the child from trauma. Secondly, hurry to the pharmacy for ointment (rescuer, traumel C, sinyakoff, aibolit, etc.), which helps to remove the swelling. There is no pharmacy nearby, but the child has a very small bump on his head? Then you can use a leaf of cabbage or burdock. In most cases, if a child bumps his head, then the bump disappears for several days. But there are annoying exceptions, so if the child does not go through a cone or have any complaints, then it is worthwhile to see a doctor.
Special cases
It also happens that the child has stuffed a bump on his forehead or, which is much more dangerous, on the nape, the temporal or parietal part, but the pain does not pass. Sometimes it is accompanied by repeated vomiting, convulsions, short-term loss of consciousness, continuous crying (longer than fifteen minutes), pallor, disorientation in space. This is an occasion to immediately call an ambulance or take the child to the hospital on their own. The presence of such symptoms may be evidence of severe cerebral
Mummy should not just say that little eyes need eyes and eyes. But still - never lose vigilance, and then unpleasant incidents involving your child will be much less. Constantly explain to the child the rules of safe entertainment and games are also not superfluous.
Health to you and your kids!
