Question
Doctor, my baby has been cut. How should I handle it? What precautions should I take?
Answer
If a baby’s cut is not deep and the baby’s metabolism is relatively fast, generally no special treatment is needed, and the wound will heal on its own. However, if the cut is larger, the baby’s skin may have more severe damage, and it is advisable to seek medical attention for disinfection, dressing, and treatment. To ensure the baby’s safety, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a tetanus vaccination to prevent infection.
