As two- and three-year-olds begin to move about actively, they are prone to falls and injuries. What do you do you in such situations - panic or stay calm? Here are 2 situations and how you can deal with them:-

Situation #1
Head injury

Head injuries are more common in children than in adults. Head injuries can result from your child falling off the bed, hitting her head against the edge of a piece of furniture or even running into a wall.

Signs to look for: If you notice your child crying and indicating some discomfort in her head, look for external signs like a cut, a bruise or bleeding. It can be hard to assess whether a head injury is ordinary or serious by looking at it. It is important to watch your child closely for 24 hours after the injury to see whether she develops signs of distress like a bump, breathing trouble, nausea or light-headedness, all of which she may find difficult to communicate.

Parental action: For bleeding from cuts, try to stop the bleeding first. Ensure you handle your child with clean hands. Press the wound firmly with a clean cloth or a bit of gauze for about 10 minutes by which the time the bleeding will have stopped. If the bleeding does not stop or if there an object has pierced the wound, you must see a doctor. If you notice a bump, you could use a cold compress to reduce the swelling.

If you suspect there is something more than a minor injury, consult a paediatrician. If your child shows signs of a concussion including change in behaviour, loss of consciousness, sleeplessness, vomiting or confusion, seek emergency medical attention right away.

Situation #2
Burns

Burns are serious business. There are three types of burns: first-, second- and third-degree burns. If you happen to be dealing with the last two, it is better to rush your child to the hospital. Burns can be caused by anything scalding hot bath water that your child tips over; a hot cup of coffee or a steaming bowl of food placed on the dining table that gets toppled over accidentally.

Signs to look for: A first-degree burn extends to only about 1/4th of an inch.

It can be identified by redness of the skin, and minor swelling. Small blisters are seen. Second-degree burns are identified by the large blisters and thickening of the skin that follows. Third-degree burns can be identified by whitening of the skin and a leather-like appearance.

Parental action: Place the burnt area under cool running water or place a clean cold cloth on the burn for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then wrap up the area with a bandage for a day. If the first-degree burn happens to be on the face, hand, shoulder or the genital area, don't treat the burn at home; see a doctor immediately. Second- and third-degree burns must be treated by a medical practitioner.
