What should be done for breaks and breaks in children?

Children of any age are often injured, and fractures or dislocations are very common. According to information from the Department of Health, parents should pay attention to the following issues before sending their children to hospital:

• Parents must first stay calm, comfort the injured, and avoid being overly anxious.
• If the site is not dangerous, avoid moving the injured person to avoid making the injury worse.
• Carefully remove the bandages from the injured area to expose the joint. For example, if you have an unbroken ankle sprain, you should take off your shoes immediately. If your foot goes up and you can’t take off the shoes, use scissors to open the shoes and take them off.

If parents have received first aid training, they can consider the following first aid care before taking the injured person to the hospital if they suspect they may have a fracture:

1. Use your hands to stabilize and support the injured part, and avoid unnecessary movement of the injured part.
2. Gently hold the injured part with your hands, put the injured person in the most comfortable position, and put soft cushions or similar things in the gap to provide support.
3. Use soft pads and bandages to attach the injured part to the uninjured part of the body to prevent movement.
4. When dealing with an open fracture, enter the wounded area only after applying a dressing.
5. If the forearm is injured, after being fixed with a wooden board and bandage, use a large triangular hand hanger as a sling to increase support.
6. If the upper arm is injured, use a bandage to tie the injured limb to the torso.
7. If the lower limb is injured, place the injured limb next to the leg.
8. Keep your body warm and be careful from shock.
9. After treating the fracture, send it to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
