How to Handle a Child’s Finger Cut

Question

What should I do if my child’s hand is cut?

Answer

When a child’s finger is cut by a sieve inside an unused thermal cup, although the wound may appear shallow and only slightly bleeding, it is incorrect to immediately apply a bandage. This could lead to internal infection. The correct approach is to first clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide, followed by disinfection. Disinfection is necessary regardless of whether the wound is clean. This is the advice for the question ‘What should I do if my child’s hand is cut?’ I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
