Treatment When Baby/Kids Falls

Based on My health portal, The treatment depends on the types and severity of the injuries.

If the child sustains minor injuries such as bruises and sprain, cold compress the area with ice. Give the child Paracetamol syrup to relieve pain. Rest the affected area.

If the child sustains cuts, clean the area with water, compress the wound with thumb for few minutes to stop bleeding and elevate it. Cover it with clean dressing.

If you suspect the child has a broken bone, splint the area with a blanket, thick cloth or pillow to avoid movement. Use a cloth sling for any broken bones of the upper limbs.
Check the bandaged areas to ensure normal blood circulation. If the skin becomes cold and discoloured, loosen the applied bandage.

If you suspect the child to have serious injuries, seek medical help.
