As a parent, you will at some point have to care for and provide comfort to your child when he injures himself. Here are a few first aid basics that may come in handy in case of an accident.
If your child has been bitten by an animal or another child, clean the wound with soap and running water for several minutes.
For a minor, superficial cut or scrape that is not bleeding profusely, follow these steps.
Even if your child is well supervised, she can put all sorts of things in her nose like buttons, pebbles, pieces of foam, dry peas, and peanuts, for example.
Bleeding can occur when the nose is irritated after a cold or when a child has put a finger or object in a nostril. Nosebleeds are generally harmless.
Gently clean the blood with a clean, dry cloth. To stop the bleeding, put direct pressure on the wound. To prevent swelling, apply a wash cloth with very cold water. For a broken or displaced tooth, consult a dentist as soon as possible.
