First-Aid for 4 Common Injuries for Kids
2
By nature kids are inquisitive. They grow up
running around and exploring the world around
them in a carefree manner, which sometimes leads
to different injuries. So, if you are parents of
toddlers, please make sure you know the
first-aids for some common injuries of kids. It
is kind of inevitable that at some point you will
encounter a situation when you have to give
first-aids to your wounded kids. In-house doctors
of different Preschool centres organize workshops
for parents and educate them about the first-aids
for common injuries for kids. Below they have
shared some useful first-aid tips for kids. Cuts
and Scrapes If your child gets cut or scrapes,
the first thing that needs to be done is to stop
the bleeding, and that can be done by applying
slight pressure to the cut area. Next, dab the
wound with cotton dipped in warm water that is
mixed with some child-friendly antiseptic lotion.
This would sanitize the area and remove any dirt
particles that might be lodged in the wound. Once
the area is cleaned properly, apply antiseptic
cream and cover the wound with a loose bandage.
After giving the first-aid, do not forget to take
your little one to get his tetanus shots, if he
has not received the same in the last ten years.
Keep on applying fresh bandage every day until
the wound heals.

Burns If your child gets burned, immediately put
the burnt area under cool running water at least
for five minutes. Please avoid using ice on the
affected area as it would stop the blood
circulation in the region which in turn slow down
the healing process. In La Palma, CA doctors
suggest parents avoid using grease, butter or
other such substances to cover the burn as it
would trap the heat and prevent the proper
healing. Once you are done with the first-aid,
please consult a good doctor and do not do any
self-medication. Epileptic Seizures If your
child has epileptic seizures, gently ease your
child onto the floor. After this, you can put a
folded towel or pillow under their heads. Once
they recover, please tell them what happened to
them in simple age-appropriate language. If the
seizures last for more than five minutes, take
them to the doctor immediately.

Poisoning by Bleach Consumption First, wash off
your childs mouth using freshwater, this would
cleanse their mouth. Then please change their
clothes because sometimes the bleach smell can
make them feel nauseous. After that give them
some warm milk to drink. Drinking milk would
dilute the bleach. If your child is still feeling
uncomfortable, please take him to the doctor and
do not forget to take the bleach container with
you which would help the doctor to determine his
medicines. According to the Preschool La Palma
CA? teachers, if parents have some basic
first-aid knowledge, they can feel prepared
whenever there is a medical emergency. But
whenever you are giving first-aid to your kids,
your calm demeanour will help you to give them
adequate care.
