Tips To Heal Kids Of Diwali Burns
Kids
oi-Anwesha
Here are some parenting tips to help you heal burns or deal with minor medical emergencies during Diwali 2011 without any hassles.
Tips To Heal Kids Burns During Diwali:
- The first important thing to remember is that there is no cause of panic as long as the burns is minor which is subjective but you can use your own sense of judgment to decide. There is a job at hand and that is to give first aid to the child. You will be able to do it only if you remain calm and sane.
- The immediate first aid that comes to your mind when you see a burn is obviously to put water on it but use this obvious method with caution.
- Water is good for a slight scalding touch of an hot object but for serious burning water may cause the burned skin to swell up with accumulated water. You can still use ice on the kid's burn if it is a small one but do not dip the affected area in water.
-
Turmeric
is
a
very
good
natural
antiseptic
for
burns.
If
you
keep
some
turmeric
powder
handy
on
the
day
of
Diwali
celebrations
then
you
might
be
able
to
administer
first
aid
for
burns
immediately.
- Applying antiseptic is very essential because the chances of infection worsens the burns injuries. If you do not have turmeric or any other antiseptic handy then you can cut an onion into half and press that down on the burn
- If you are not comfortable using natural antiseptics like turmeric then you can always use medicinal ones like Dettol or Salvon. It is said that nothing works like spirit or alcohol to heal burns though it burns like hell. Judging by the severity of the burn you may have to use this option but avoid it as a child cannot take so much pain on top of the injury.
- It the kid's clothes catch fire then do not splash water on them. The water will make the clothes stick to the skin and the kids burns resulting from it will be very serious. Wrap them up in a blanket immediately or else strip their clothing as soon as you can.
First aid is alright if the kid's burns are minor but if you have any doubts then rush to the nearest hospital. Be safe this Diwali 2011.
