Scald toothpaste and cry for two years old!Doctor: "Turkic" may be counterproductive!

Children are many crowds of burns, and some parents will apply oil, honey, aloe, toothpaste, etc. on the wound. Doctors remind that these "earthwork" not only has no effect on burns, but may increase the chance of wound infection and increase the difficulty of treatment.

One afternoon last weekend, Xiaowei, a two -year -old baby in the lake, accidentally overturned the thermal insulation cup, spilled the hot boiling water on his right foot, and instantly scalded a few blisters. Grandma immediately applied Xiaowei's burns based on "experience", and then sent him to Xiamen Qianpu Hospital. After an emergency surgeon, he immediately created it to Xiaowei, but due to toothpaste adhesion and the difficulty of wound cleaning, Xiao Wei cried more than pain. The doctor completed the debridement, and then applied Xiaowei to Xiaowei to remove blood circulation and to remove corruption and detoxifying muscle. At present, the wound has begun to scab and will gradually heal.

Huang Hua, deputy chief physician of the Surgery of Xiamen Qianpu Hospital, introduced that toothpaste, honey and other recipes did not treat burns, and did not have the effect of anti -infection. Using it without authorization, he would increase the wound infection. Scald treatment is fast and scientific. Mild burns can generally use cold compresses. No special treatment is required. If severe scald occurs, you should seek medical treatment urgently and make debridement under aseptic conditions.

Doctors remind: The burns that children happen at home are mostly shallow two degrees of scald, that is, the epidermis will start blisters. Immediately after burning, do not wrap the wound with any material with strong water absorption, so as not to cause the body fluid loss, let alone apply anything on the wound to avoid increasing the difficulty of treatment; do not pick up the blisters by itself to avoid causing wound infection. At the same time, do a good job of investigation of hidden safety hazards in the family and take care of the children.
