batteries found in many electric toys and devices. If a child swallows a button battery, or if it is believed to be the case, take it immediately to an emergency department.
In addition to being a choking hazard, they can also cause severe internal burns due to the electric current they emit. They can also cause burns if they get stuck in the nose or ear.
When a child is traumatized
If the child is pale and/or feeling unwell after an accident, they should be placed in a supine position. Keeping him covered and warm, but not too hot. If the child feels unconscious, his head should be kept lowered and it is best if he is lying down. The feeling of unconsciousness will pass within a minute or two.
Seizures and convulsions in children
If a child has a seizure, they may become bluish, stiff, and staring. Sometimes the eyes will roll and the limbs will twitch and shake, or it will start to flop. The following suggestions will help you deal with a seizure:
Keep calm.
The child is laid on its side to make sure that it does not vomit or choke. Nothing is put in his mouth. In the event that it is believed that he is choking on food or an object, he tries to remove it.
The child''s clothing and anything covering him is removed and made sure that he is cool but within acceptable limits.
Most seizures end within 3 minutes. When it is over, the child is reassured and made sure that he is comfortable, and the doctor is called.
If the seizure does not stop within 3 minutes, dial the emergency number. If the seizure stops, but it is the child''s first, he is taken to the nearest ambulance and emergency center to examine the child.
You must not panic. It takes seizures longer than 30 minutes for any risk of brain damage to occur.
Even if it is not the first time and the child regains consciousness quickly, the doctor knows that the child has had a seizure.
Although seizures may seem terrifying, they are common in children under the age of 3. Although there are other causes for the occurrence of seizure, but the high temperature is the most common stimulus. Learn how to treat a high temperature in children.
Febrile seizures, also known as febrile seizures, become less common after the age of three and are almost unrecognized after the age of five. Febrile seizures are not associated with epilepsy.
Electric shock in children
The electricity is turned off before approaching the child. If this is not possible, the child is pushed away from the source of impact with a plastic or wooden object, such as a broom handle. Gently try to stimulate the child by tapping their feet or stroking their neck and shouting "hello" or "wake up". If there is no response from the child, the resuscitation sequence should be followed.
Bone fractures in children
If a child''s neck or spine is suspected, an ambulance is called. They should not be moved. Unnecessary movement can cause paralysis. A bone in the child''s hand or leg may be broken if there is pain and swelling in the child and the limb appears to be extended at an odd angle.
If the child cannot be moved easily without causing pain, an ambulance is called. In the event that it is necessary to transport the child, caution and kindness should be exercised. One hand is placed above the injury and the other below it to stabilize and support it (blankets or clothing are used if necessary). The child is reassured and taken to the hospital.
In the event that it is believed that the child is in pain, he is given painkillers until he reaches the emergency center. Follow the dosage instructions on the package label.
