Question
What should I do if my baby’s finger gets pinched by a door?
Answer
When a baby’s finger is pinched by a door, first apply an ice pack to the injured area to reduce swelling and pain. Then, elevate the finger above the heart to help alleviate swelling. If swelling and pain are severe, or if the finger’s movement is restricted, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital promptly. Under the doctor’s guidance, medication such as Yunnan Baiyao spray can be used for treatment. Additionally, it is important to keep the finger clean and dry to prevent infection. Also, ensure the baby avoids vigorous movements to promote wound healing.
