The child is broken, how to do?

What about the fracture of the child?

Step 1 Hemostasis

If the fracture site is bleeding, the finger can be pressed above the wound blood vessel or a clean bandage can be used to help stop bleeding.

Step 2 Expose the wound

Take off or cut off the clothes on the injured part, and be gentle.

Step 3: Ice

If conditions permit, use ice bags or towels to wrap some ice cubes and apply them to the injured part.

Step 4 Fix the wound

Don’t move the injured limb, simply fix it at the wrong position.

If there is a splint, it is better to keep the bone from moving until seeing a doctor, thus playing a protective role.

Temporary splints can be made of small boards, cardboard or even folded multi-layer newspapers, rolled up and fixed to the fracture with elastic bandages or straps.

5. See a doctor as soon as possible

Take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible after simple treatment. Don’t let the child eat or drink before seeing a doctor to prevent surgery.

Common Mistakes about Fracture in Children

1. Easily move the wound

When it is suspected that the child has a limb fracture, let the child rest immediately, do not move the injury easily, and do not reset the fracture of the child without authorization to avoid causing another injury.

2. Self-use drug treatment

Don’t sprinkle anti-inflammatory drugs or other things on the child’s wound. Self-medication may cover up the disease and affect the doctor’s judgment on the disease. You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

How to prevent children’s fracture?

  1. Parents should avoid suddenly pulling their children’s limbs.

  2. Attention should also be paid to the care of children at home. Children’s safety doors can be used at the upper and lower entrances of bedrooms and stairs, which can effectively protect infants.

  3. Parents should pay attention to their children’s safety education and wear helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, etc. correctly when their children ride bicycles and tricycles, play skateboarding and roller skating or do any similar sports.

  4. If the child is prone to repeated fractures, parents should consider that the child may have other diseases and take the child to see a doctor for examination in time.
