What to do if a child falls and breaks the skin on his leg

When children walk, they are not always able to pay attention and keep watch in all directions. They often fall down when they are playing. Especially for children who are just learning to walk, many of them are unstable and prone to falling down. Because children's skin is relatively tender, it is very likely that they will break the skin after falling down. The children will feel pain and then cry. So, what should you do if a child falls down and has broken skin on his legs?

If a child's skin is damaged and secondary to bacterial infection, timely debridement and treatment can be performed. Parents are advised to take their babies to see a doctor in time, and corresponding treatment can be adopted according to the doctor's instructions. For example, you can use normal saline to rinse and then apply iodine to disinfect, and then apply Bactroban externally for treatment. Pay attention to replenishing water for the baby in life, and do not eat spicy puffed food. If the infection is serious, antibiotics can be added for treatment.

It is inevitable for children to get bruised, so don't worry too much. As long as the muscles and bones are not injured, it is not a big deal. If the skin is scratched or the swelling is red, you can use a small amount of gentian violet to clean and reduce the swelling.

If the wound is not deep and is just a local skin abrasion, it can be disinfected with iodine tincture after infection, and Baiduobang ointment or erythromycin ointment can be applied externally, and oral anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to control the infection. If the wound is deep and there is a lot of secretion, you can go to the hospital for wound expansion and drainage. Pay attention to rest and keep the affected limb elevated and immobilized. Keep the area warm and apply medicine on time. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods, seafood and other foods.

After a child falls, there is a wound and local infection. Generally, bleeding after a fall and a wound are prone to infection, especially for children. If the child is not properly cared for, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital outpatient department for sterile cleaning first, then anti-inflammatory and swelling symptomatic treatment, intravenous drip, and oral anti-inflammatory drugs after the symptoms are significantly relieved.
