Question
What should be done if a baby falls and suffers a facial skin injury?
Answer
Firstly, check the size of the wound and the bleeding situation. If the wound is small, clean and disinfect it, and apply gentle pressure with a cloth to stop the bleeding. If there is significant bleeding, immediately use a clean cloth to apply pressure to the wound and take the baby to the hospital for professional medical treatment, which may require stitching and application of antibiotic medication. In daily life, be mindful of the baby’s safety to prevent similar accidents from happening again. At the same time, ensure the baby receives sufficient nutrition and calcium to promote growth and development.
