Question

The child was walking quickly and accidentally bumped into the coffee table, causing a large bump on the head. After using a damp towel soaked in cold water to apply a compress, the child is no longer crying. Can I use carthamus oil?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, the child may have sustained a local soft tissue contusion due to scraping or trauma. It is advised not to use carthamus oil to avoid further irritation to the wound. Please observe the wound condition and apply a regional cold compress after three days to promote swelling reduction. The above suggestions are for your reference, and I wish your child a speedy recovery!
