In our daily life, small injuries can happen to children at any time. No matter how much we want our children not to be hurt, burns, bruises and cuts are usual companions in children's learning of the world. At the moment when a child is unexpectedly injured at home or on a walk, it is difficult to quickly understand what to do and in what order, so the pediatricians of the Mother's House are always ready to give some useful tips for parents on how to react: Find a comfortable place to examine the child and determine if immediate help is needed. If the child feels pain in any of the limbs, ask him to move his fingers, in order to exclude the presence of a fracture. If there is no urgent need to call an ambulance, the wound should be cleaned of dirt and bleeding should be stopped. If the injury is accompanied by skin irritation or burns, use means to relieve pain and soothe the skin. Monitor the child's condition and, if necessary, consult a doctor for further assistance and examination. Your attention and care are the best means for a quick recovery of the child. If you need help, our pediatricians work for you every day at the locations of the Mother's House polyclinic closest to you.
