Babies and Parents

Each case requires a particular process described below.

l.-Bruises:
Because the eye is a very sensitive area, the, pain is intense and the tears away and far-reaching.

Apply a frozen compress or an ice pack or anything that is sufficiently cold. The ice should remain in the affected area for at least five minutes, thereby reducing inflammation (cototo) and relieve pain.

If the blow to the globe directly affected, as is the case, balls lie immediately fairy child’s head back. Here there is a danger of this becoming detached retina and paste this will help in areas that has been cleaned.

Give it the anti-inflammatory painkiller that your doctor has recommended you take the child and lying to a hospital for examination by an ophthalmologist.

2.-Wounds:
A contusion may also entail a wound, which you’ll notice right away because there is bleeding. Immediately wash area with water only (the soap can irritate even more). More likely is that the wound is in the skin of the eyelids or eyebrows, is not common injuries in children occur directly in the eyeball.

Dry the area and apply a wet gauze that does not adhere and ice on it to reduce inflammation and pain. After about 5 minutes remove everything and see how is the wound, if it is smooth and their edges are curved, you should go to a hospital for expert hands he sutures. Protects the wound with gauze or adhesive patch.

3.-Foreign bodies
It is sand, dirt, or any object inserted in his eyes. Children cry and rub his hands, which often aggravates the situation. Avoid to touch and wash the area with water drain. Ideally we should always be cleaning drops or artificial tears (eye drops ophthalmic containing no medication).

Applying drops in his eyes, there is a drag washing, eliminating the foreign body. To apply the droplets lie the child and turns her head slightly so that the injured eye is higher. Apply a drop of fairy drain so that the inner corner of eye, repeat the application as often as necessary. If discomfort persists despite washing the drops and is still very red, protect it with a type of occlusive eye patch and take it to the ophthalmologist.

4.-Burns
Can be produced by chemical or hot water. As we saw in the “burn” you must immediately put the child’s face under running cold water to stop the process that generated heat. The water should be counted on the injured area for at least 10 minutes.

Dry the area with a sterile gauze dressing or non-stick and watch it is possible that the burn affects only the skin around lodge, or that it is intensely red. Protege with an occlusive patch administers the anti-inflammatory pain reliever recommended by your pediatrician and go to a hospital.

With efficient first aid measures such as we have noted here, in addition to control your reaction, it is possible that such accidents do not leave any disease.
