The child hit his head - when it is worth consulting a doctor, and in what cases can we do with ice towels? On this and about the alarming symptoms in the kids after falling, we will tell.

Why are the kids most often fighting exactly?

Mechanical injuries of the skull - one of the most frequent reasons Appeals frightened parents in the branch of traumatology. This is not due to the children's "Shopopost", but because of special children's anatomy.

The fact is that the kids at the age of five years weighs about a quarter of the mass of the whole body. Accordingly, in the fall, it hits first. Since self-preservation instinct does not yet and coordinate poorly developed, the crumb does not put hands in front of him in flight, hence the increased probability of brain and other troubles.

Savish kids from strong head injuries when falling and not overgrowing up to the year "Spring", and a large number of Spinal fluid in a cranial box capable of soften fall.

To the great happiness, most falls are turning only fright and bruises in children and the spent nerves of parents. And yet it is still to know the alarming signs, in which you need to give the first aid, everything should be done.

How to recognize the danger of impact?

When the kids start crawling, and then walk, they very often stumble, hit, fall (and often from a height greater than their height), as a result of which cones, abrasions, hematomas and bruises appear on the head. How to accurately recognize how dangerous to health fidget is this blow or a bump? Is it worth showing a child to a pediatrician, a neurologist or immediately go to the reception office of traumatology?

Lobberian head injury

If, after falling or hitting the obstacle, the crumbs swept a huge bump on his forehead, it is quite normal. Strong swelling is due to a large number of bursting blood vessels in soft tissues of the skull. Hematomas on the forehead most often round shapeThey quickly fall and cease to disturb the fumes and his parents, in most cases do not have difficult consequences.

However, all this is true for older babies, falling and kicking your baby's head is not worth not to leave - show the crumb to the pediatrician, even if you think there is no danger. An experienced doctor will examine the baby and calm the parents.

Head of the head of the head

Powder Zatilka is a serious reason to contact the adoptive rest of the children's branch of traumatology or to the pediatrician: often such injuries have quite serious consequences. And than the baby younger, the sooner you need to turn to the doctor, the delay can cost a child's child, because the nerve endings connecting the visual center of the brain and eyeballs are located in the occipital part of the skull.

In addition to vision problems, the child can break the coordination of movements, to develop tremor. The likelihood of neurological deviations in development is high.

First aid in mechanical skull injuries

After the fall, do not hesitate, inspect the bruised place and appreciate the severity of the injury. Then have the first help and, if necessary, call the ambulance brigade. If the bump or cut on the head is very big and look frightening, make a photo of the wound on your mobile phone for a doctor (swelling of soft tissues on the head can very quickly go away).

If a large bump or hematoma appeared on the baby's head

Calm the crumb and attach a cold compress to the place of the bruise or just a bottle of cold water, wrapped in a thin fabric. Hold the compress for five minutes and remove it for two or three minutes (to restore blood circulation). It will make the pain slightly and suspend internal bleeding. Then re-attach the compress for five minutes. Repeat these actions about 20-30 minutes - precisely during this time there is a final formation of hematoma.

If on the forehead or headplane bleeding

A sterile cotton swab or a piece of bandage, moistened with hydrogen peroxide, process the abrasion, stop the blood by simply pressing the pure dry bandage to the wound (you need to put it miserable for three to five minutes).

A child older than two years, which will suffer a slight pinching, can be disinfected with an abrasion with medical alcohol, vodka or rinse it with soap.

If blood continues to flow, despite all manipulations, call ambulance.

If after the fall you did not find damage

Come as usual, calm the crumb and stick it. Watch tirelessly for his behavior - any oddities should alert you. A child can begin to be capricious, complaining of headache and nausea, quickly get tired and unusually sleep - all this alarming bells pointing to a possible concussion of the brain or neurological problems.

If your child is root after hitting the head, complains of nausea and migraine, loses consciousness and discoordinated, immediately call ambulance.

How to behave if there are minor suspicion of concussion?

If the baby is quite an adult in order to explain its state to parents (can say where he hurts that he is sick or the head is spinning), and you do not see good reasons to lead it to the doctor, but doubts remain just watching.

• Immediately after fall, calm the crumb and put on the bed, take it with quiet games and stories, read the book. Explain that everything is in order, but now you need to lie a little calmly.
• Several hours watch the baby for the appearance of alarming symptoms. At least three or four hours do not fall asleep: in a dream you can skip the deterioration of the condition by shocked.
• If the child is completely small, wake it up at night and watch the coordination of movements.
• Watch the fidget three to four days: if during this period anxiety signs It was not observed, then the injury went without complications.

Bad signs when injured head

Any bruise of the skull requires careful long-term observation of parents at home or doctors in the hospital. For reinsurance after injury in case you decide to leave the baby at home, exclude its physical and mental load: forbid you read, watch TV or play a computer. Exception - quiet classical music. In the event of the complications described below, show the baby to the pediatrician.

Alarm symptoms after hitting the frontal part of the skull

After hitting the forehead or fall, the following symptoms indicating dangerous complications may occur face down.

• wpadina (dent) on the forehead instead of the usual cones;
• the cone is abnormally large;
• vomiting and nausea;
• dizziness, fainting;
• uncontrollable crying, hysterics;
• hard breath;
• pale skin face;
• nasolabial triangle sinusiness;
• an increase in pupils, the appearance of the squint;
• lethargy and inhibition;
• speech difficulty;
• discordination, stiffness of movements;
• bleeding, ears or nasal.

If a child has a head after hitting, at least one of these symptoms is revealed, urgently call the ambulance brigade!

Lay the baby on the sofa or the bed on the back or on the side (for kids who are not able to rip on the side in case of vomiting) and do not give any medicines yourself: it can greatly make the diagnosis of doctors.

Alarming symptoms after hitting the back

Baseless mechanical injuries can cause all of the above features, as well as the following symptoms:

• numbness of the limbs;
• memory loss;
• split an image in the eyes;
• loss of consciousness;
• strong headaches and dizziness.

According to statistics, it is the occipital skull injuries that most often lead to a concussion of the brain, so they need to be treated with all seriousness.

The kids fall back during the start of independent movement, with light shocks and loss of equilibrium, teenagers fall at fights during roller or roller skates. Elder children should be made to wear a helmet on the head to prevent injury.

Possible consequences

The head is one of the most important and vulnerable parts Our body, that is why skull injuries may have irreversible consequences bringing trouble all life. After shots head behind the child you need to watch. It is possible that he will become a fib, starts to sleep badly and seek school material worse.

Consequences of the Lobal Skull Injury

Injuries after hitting the forehead are several types:

• Open - soft tissue and skull bones damaged, injury is accompanied by bleeding and loss of consciousness, painful shock. In these cases, immediate hospitalization is necessary.
• Closed -Shelch fabrics and bone are intact. There are varying severity and require different treatment tactics.

1. The brain injury is a severe condition, accompanied by a long-term loss of consciousness, nasal or ear bleeding. Bruises appear around the eye, the speech is difficult. Maybe one of the facial nerves responsible for facial expressions.
2. The concussion of the brain is a frequent state that occurs after a strong injury of the cranial box. It is characterized by vomiting and constant nausea, dizziness, lip bias and the pallor of the skin on the face. In some cases, these symptoms may not be, but an unusually bad, restless night's sleep of fidgets -Poveod turn to the doctor. By shaking, a weekly bed mode with a minimum brain activity is laid.
3. Hematoma or a bump accompanied by swelling of soft tissues. The kid is shortly crying, shortly after eliminating pain, he calms down and forgets about the incident.

Consequences of the injury of the occipital part of the skull

In addition to the above complications, the styling parts can be given the following consequences:

• scattered, inattention;
• discordination of movements on one side (usually with the one where the blow fell);
• worsening memory;
• insomnia;
• the emergence of permanent migraines.

How to avoid injury?

1. Never leave the baby on the sofa, the beds without sideboards or changing table - it can instantly fall. Place better on the floor or in his crib.
2. If you sit on the sofa with the baby, put a couple of large pillows on the floor - it will soften the fall in case of your absence.
3. In a stroller or car seat, always fasten the baby seat belts.
4. When a child starts to learn to go, a dense carpet will come to the rescue - they do not slip legs on it, and it's not so painful.
5. Purchase the fidget socks with rubber bursts on the sole - it will make it easier for his walk and exclude falls.
6. Make a child wearing a protective helmet during roller skating, skating, bike or scooter.
7. Maximize the apartment: buy rubber overlays on sharp corners of furniture.

The mobility and nonsense of small kids deliver the troubles and experiences of parents. There is no such baby, who at least once fell and did not put a bump on his head.

The kid cranial box is quite strong and not always injured the head can cause some serious consequences. However, there are circumstances when the child has stolen a bump, and this fact subsequently negatively affects his health. In any scenario, parents need to trace the condition of the crumbs after it fell, and when I detect suspicious signals to take it to the hospital.

How dangerous strikes head for children?

It is known that the physiology of the child younger age It is arranged in a certain way. The kosnaya kid system is still not finally formed. At the same time there is a kind of depreciation when driving. The croche moves as if on the springs, and, stumbling, rapidly flies down, while it hits the frontal part or a population.

Baby head is much heavier than other parts of the body. This factor contributes to the fact that the fidget falls often flies down his head. It is this part of the body of the crumbs up to 2 years most often covered by hematomas and scratches.

The newborns on the top of the head have the so-called big spring (soft, not yet inflated place). The bones of the children's skull are very mobile in the first year of life, so any injury may entail a brain injury.

If the child hit his head, what to pay attention to first? First of all, you need to remember that not all injuries are able to cause severe consequences in the future life, so parents should not be panic.

An dangerous factor for a child who has fallen down a bump, the strength of impact is considered, the surface of which he hit, as well as the location of the injury (we recommend reading :). Dangerous for child health and life consequences may occur when:

• the baby hit the area about the angle of some kind;
• the child fell when riding on rollers or bicycle, as a result of which she broke up with a back of the asphalt;
• the crumbs arises repeated vomiting;
• there is a periodic loss of consciousness;
• the monthly baby hit the springs.

If more adult children can notice a certain symptoms of concussion (problems with speech, vision, coordination), then baby These manifestations cannot be seen. The main symptoms in crank-brain injury in the baby are vomiting, grueling crying, alarming sleep, hot forehead, sometimes short-term loss of consciousness (up to 2 minutes).

What to do if the baby hit his head very much: first aid

Coordination of the one-year-old child is just beginning to be formed, and its attempts quickly move frequently end the appearance of a bump on the forehead (we recommend reading :). If the child hit his head during "flight" from the carousel, a slide or stairs, parents need to act without delay. The first thing Mom should:

• inspect the place of the appearance of the bruise;
• when the hematoma is detected (cones) to attach a spoon, wrapped in a towel a piece of ice or other cold item, then acknowledge a special ointment (rescuer, timber, or bruise-off);
• in the presence of blood, you need to process the sore place with peroxide or another antiseptic agent.

In independence on the type of damage, the crumb should be put in order for its head and the vertebral pole in the same plane. With severe injury, the skull can not be given to the baby to sleep, so you can union the main signs of concussion or hemorrhage into the brain.

If a child is tearing, it needs to be slow, without a jerk put on the side. Before the arrival of the medical team, you can not give a patient with any tablets.

If the situation occurs, when the baby fell from a changing chest or fell asleep on the couch, and then fell to the floor, but there is no visible manifestations of a concussion, the mother must observe a few days. If there is a sprawling swelling, vomiting, poor appetite, the pallor of the skin, it is necessary to contact the specialized medical help.

Under what symptoms need immediate appeal to the doctor?

Often, small fidgets during games in the parks, on the venues, when there are various injuries and abrasions at the bus services and slides. Minor bruises and swelling do not have the grounds for anxiety, but to handle the injury space by an antiseptic and attach a cold compress is a mandatory first aid measure.

• the health of the child after the fall worsens, he actually falls asleep on the go;
• there is a sharp pale of skin;
• convulsions and paralysis of the limbs;
• pupils have expanded in the child (sometimes one of them exceeds the size of another);
• dizziness and attacks of vomiting;
• in urine or roast masses Blood streaks appear;
• the baby periodically loses consciousness;
• the child constantly goes in the cry, as the painful syndrome does not pass;
• at the point of impact, a large swelling was formed, rapidly increasing in size;
• the bump does not pass long;
• coordination of movements is broken;
• the body temperature rose.

Such symptoms of the resulting brain injuries is characteristic of children of any age. If at least one of the above symptoms is found in a child, you need to immediately go to the trauma.

When hitting the child's head

The frontal bone of the 5-year-old baby is already quite durable and is able to withstand even significant blows. However, if the crumb is fighting on asphalt, concrete or an angle of furniture with a lot of force, while one hematoma is not separated on the head. The consequences of such a strike are:

1. brain injury ( characteristic symptoms: loss of consciousness, speech disorder, skin's sinusiness around the eyes, it is possible to release from the nose);
2. concussion (symptoms of states are dizziness, frequent attacks of vomiting, clouding reason);
3. the injury of soft tissues (is considered the safest state after impact, in place of the defeat, as a rule, swelling or bruises are formed).

Sometimes even the ordinary bump can cause serious diseases. If, after two or three days, the bump has become huge, intensified by pain syndrome or, on the contrary, a dent is visualized at the point of swelling, to delay a visit to the trauma, it is impossible.

When hitting a baby with a population

Boots of the occipital part can be the basis for the occurrence of concussion of the brain or cranial injury. Anxious signals that should force parents to alert, are:

• bad sleep;
• migraine;
• scattered;
• temperature;
• worsening memory;
• disorientation;
• difficult speech;
• numbness of arms and legs.

Hazardous implications for children can be mounted, if you do not postpone the visit to the traumatologist. In any fall of the child, adults should look at the state of the kid after the incident. If a few hours after an unsuccessful case, uncharacteristic symptoms were found, it is better to resort to the help of a doctor.

Parents must remember that the symptoms of the head of the forehead or the back can manifest themselves immediately, but 2-3 days after what happened. At the same time, the child can rise the body temperature.

What consequences can be?

It happens, parents do not give properly a shishke on the forehead at the baby and are in no hurry to contact the doctors (we recommend reading :). Such frivolous adult behavior can cause hazardous consequences:

• the appearance of bad sleep (infrine breasts and often wakes up at night);
• violation of the perception of space;
• the emergence of scattering, disadvantage and serious memory problems (the baby is difficult to remember the new material).

There were cases when the consequences of the head injury were manifested in a few months and even a year. Therefore, you need to act in a timely manner, because at the horse the most expensive - the health and life of the baby.

How to treat brain injury?

Critical injuries of the head are treated stationary. To start a child, they are sent to the examination to find out the nature of the defeat and decide on the tactics of treatment. A number of methods and methods can be applied during the survey:

• ultrasound diagnostics of the skull (make children up to 1.5 years, until Springticks have been delayed);
• computer and magnetic resonance tomography;
• puncture of the spinal fluid (to detect intracranial hemorrhage).

In addition, for the formulation of an accurate diagnosis, a thorough study of the nervous system of the kid, his vision and hearing is required. Also, the doctor needs to evaluate the work of the lobular apparatus of the child.

Treatment of light brain bruises, like concussion, is carried out in the hospital. The patient is prescribed a complex therapy that is aimed at:

• normalization of intracranial pressure;
• elimination of brain edema;
• restoration of metabolism.

The operational method of treatment is necessary if the baby was diagnosed with squeezing of the cranial box or an open acceleracy brain injury. The same method of therapy is also used in hemorrhage into the brain.

Prevention of injuries of the head

The infants often fall from the changing table or bed. To prevent this dangerous moment, you can not leave the baby one, even if he is not even able to roll over. If the baby was lying calmly yesterday on his back, twisted only with legs and handles, today he can roll over to the stomach and pass forward.

If the child loves to be on the sofa, it is better to put soft pillows on the floor. In which case, such a measure will soften landing.

The kid every day knows something new. The first steps become a feat for him. At the same time, it falls and is injured. You can prevent your head blows if:

• show floors with soft non-slip rugs;
• wear socks with rubberized soles;
• during the walk, not to move far, but better to hold the crumb to the handle.

Pleasure strollers are better to choose with high sideboards, but that the seat is located low relative to the Earth. Follow the kid to be constantly fastened by seat belts, especially if he fell asleep. If you live in a multi-storey building and you need to overcome the staircases every day, it is better to teach a child to calmly walk along the steps, holding a hand or my mother's hand.

While riding a bike, scooter or rollers, you need to wear protective devices: knee pads, elbows, helmet. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of hazardous brain injuries.

Caring for the health of the baby while he grows and develops, completely lies on his parents. Observing uncomplicated care activities, it is possible to minimize the production of dangerous brain injuries.

Often, our kids fall and we ask the question: "Does the ambulance call?". Here, I found an interesting article on one of the sites, about what signs in the brain injuries and the first help of the child.

Often in a situation where the child falls from the bed or changing table, Mom does not know what to do. Do I need to run to the doctor, call "ambulance" or help the child yourself? It all depends on the severity of damage, but the most important thing is to calm down and think soberly.

The child fell out of bed and hit his head: possible injuries

With the fall of small children, the head is inevitable. It is not important that exactly the place he hit when he fell (forehead or backbone), and the severity of damage to the brain.

The children's body is largely different from the adult, the skull bones up to a year did not grumble completely (easily shifted), and the tissues of the brain are fragile and immature. All these factors predispose to stronger brain damage.

All brain injuries are divided into:
-Open (damaged bones and soft fabrics)
- closed (when the integrity of the bones of the skull and soft tissues is not broken)

Closed brain injuries are divided into:
-brain concussion
- Brush brain
-tention brain

When concurred, there are no changes in the structure of the brain substance, the foci of the destruction of the brain substance arise, and the compression appears against the background of the injury due to the rupture of the vessels or fragments of the skull.

If the child fell and hit his head (backstage or forehead), there may be a soft tissue injury - the easiest injury when the brain does not suffer. Then there arises a bump or an abundance at the point of impact.

Symptoms indicating brain injury

A concussion of the brain is manifested by a short-term loss of consciousness. In children younger than It is difficult to see it. It is possible to assume such a state if there was some time (1-3 minutes) from the moment of falling to the appearance of crying. The child can snatch. Until 3 months of vomiting can be multiple. It happens to pale the skin, the Pot Office, as well as drowsiness and refusal of food. Children up to a year do not sleep well in the first night after the injury.

When the brain injury, the loss of consciousness may be longer (more than an hour), signs of respiratory and cardiac activity may appear.

If the child fell out of bed and fell so that there was a fracture of the bones of the skull, his condition could be heavy. It is possible to expire the lycvore (light liquid) or blood from the nose, ear. Bruises appear around the eye (symptom of glasses). However, symptoms may appear and a few hours after injury.

How to evaluate the severity of injury if the child fell and hit his head?

If the child fell from the bed (sofa, changing table or other surfaces), it is necessary to closely follow its condition. In the case when it all ended 10-15 minutes, and the child's condition has not changed, you can not contact the doctor.

If the mother had at least some doubts that the injury is not dangerous, it is better to call a doctor, since it is safer to make sure that the child's health is more reliable than to treat heavy consequences.

Children under 1.5 years old can be made neurosonography. This procedure is painless, it is inexpensive and is carried out using the Uzi apparatus. With it, it is determined to increase intracranial pressure and the presence of hemorrhages life-threatening. At a later age, this study will not work if the bark of large spring.

The child fell off the bed - first aid

If a bump appeared on the point of impact - you can apply ice in a napkin or something cold. Magnesia possesses the absorption effect, the row with such a solution should be done 2 times a day.

In the presence of bleeding to the wound, a tampon is applied in the form of a tampon. If the blood does not stop longer than 15 minutes, you need to call an ambulance.

If the child fell and hit his forehead or head ago, he can not sleep within an hour (this applies to children older year), because According to the adequacy of his answers and reactions to your questions, you can understand whether the brain suffered. Women and check coordination can be (and necessary) at night.

Behind the child you need to watch very closely and care for 7 days if the doctor allowed to stay at home. The child needs peace and lack of visual loads (especially for children over 1.5-2 years).

Condimize the ambulance if the child fell and hit his head?

With the loss of consciousness and strong bleeding from the wound, it is necessary to urgently cause "ambulance". Until her arrival, it is better to lay the baby side, especially if there is vomiting (in this position it does not choose).

In case the child fell from a high height of his head or back, damage to the spine. Then changing the position of the baby should be very careful to avoid the injury of the spinal cord.

"Ambulance" must be caused by the appearance of any of the alarming symptoms:
Thickening of health
- Breaking "falls asleep on the go", experiences dizziness (this applies to older children)
- sustrogues or twitching body muscles
- Village pupils do not narrow from bright light or different pupils in size
Precision pally
-Kar in urine, feces or vomit masses
-Pires or muscle paralysis

With severe brain injuries, appropriate treatment is appointed only after a careful examination of the child.

Prevention of head injuries in children

The situation when the child falls from a bed or a changing table, it happens most often with children up to a year. Therefore, you do not need to leave the baby one, especially if he has already learned to turn over. It is better to leave a child on the floor (not on a naked, of course).

The changing table is a very dangerous thing, as it has a small area. Therefore, one presence of adults is not enough, you need to hold your child with hand. It is better to swaded the baby on the bed or sofa.

You can lay something soft or put pillows on the floor, in case you still fall from the bed.

Children also "love" to fall out of wheelchairs. Therefore, it is better to acquire lower models and strollers with high sides, not neglect the child's fastening.

When a child begins to walk, the fall happens often. There may be slippery floors (parquet). Child You can wear socks with rubberized inserts (they will not give to slide). Rugs and palaces should not "ride" on the floor, they can also provoke a fall.

I would like to note the psychological side of the question. You do not need all the time to experience the fear of what the child falls and hit his head - because it happens exactly what a person is very afraid. In addition, it is possible to convey this fear and the most child.

The nervous system of children is developing gradually. Initially, the child learns to hold the head, turn over, then begins to be better controlled with squeezed hand movements. At six months, the baby begins to sit down, crawls, a little later, it is insecably falls on the legs.

Of course, this is a joyful moment for parents when their favorite kid is mastering his first steps. These steps are most often ends with "squat" on the ass, and the baby does not want to take the initiative for a few more days, since the first fall caused fear from him. When this moment is forgotten, the baby tries again, and everything is wonderful.

But the joy of parents quickly replaces fear for his child. After all, the balls are obtained very uncertain, the baby strives to fall on the bar, sit down or transfers his center of gravity so forward that, it seems, is about to fall and hit the forehead or nose.

Especially uncertain children feel, standing on a soft surface. Therefore, often the appeal to medical care occurs after falling from the sofa. In addition, since the first steps you will learn that there are corners in your house, which is a huge amount. They are very dangerous, since they are at the level of the head of your child, and most often children hit the temple about the angle of one of the furniture items.

Also small kids pull all the things that they can not see well, but to which their palm revealed. And not always it is soft plush Toys. The kids are tightened by vases, laptops, lamps, stacks of books and directly "catch" them with their head, on which cones and bruises are formed.

Due to the weakly developed orientation in space, the unimportant interaction of parts of his body and the surrounding items, children constantly stumble, cling to the surrounding items, they will "braid" legs, which is undoubtedly the cause of falls on the floor.

Breastfish can fall from the changing table when they learn to turn over to the tummy.

Never leave a closure lying on the changing table, do not turn away from him even "on a second", because at that moment the child will turn over the tummy and falls from a height of a little more than one meter. Given that the most severe part of the baby is the head, it is her who he hits first!

Features of the structure of the skull and brain of the child

• in the first years of life, the size of the head rapidly increases. This expresses the imbalance of growth;
• any light skin injury can cause serious damage, because the child has a poorly developed horny layer;
• a feature of the blood supply to the head is a richly developed venous network with a multitude of states. About 18 - 20% of blood outlets in the heart falls directly to the baby. These two factors are the risk of massive bleeding when scalp wounds;
• due to the fragile attachment of the fine aponeurosis to the perception, extensive can appear. In children older than 6 months, they are less risk;
• the brain part of the skull is less facial. In adolescents and adults, on the contrary, more extensive facial;
• the features of the babies are spring. They increase the "reserve space" with increasing the volume of the brain for different pathologies, especially if the child hit the temple. It contributes to a longer "bright gap" during the kid's hemorrhages.

  Sharp escape or / and voltage in the field of Spring is a formidable sign! You must urgently contact the clinic!;

• the bones constituting the skull of infants, thin, contain little mineral elements, but rich in water. Due to such a feature, linear or revealed fractures are observed, and not multi-dressed as in adults;
• diploic veins, devoid of valves, can contribute to rapid separation of infection from rings to the skull cavity;
• the brain is growing rapidly until the six-year-old age, then growth slows down;
• baby's brain is better in anticipated by arterial blood, but the venous outflow is difficult due to the underdevelopment of the veins after the closing of the spring.
• nervous fibers are unevenly covered with myelin. Initially, the motorists (the child hops the skills in walking, coordinate movements, manipulation with hands with objects), only then sensitive. Therefore, pain is not so strong;
• the blood hematosphalic barrier is an obstacle between the brain and the infectious agents of the environment. In children, it is more permeable, therefore the likelihood of the effects of toxic and infectious agents on the nervous system;
• in early age In response to trauma, swelling and head of the brain, which are dangerous serious consequences and need abuse by a doctor.

What if the child fell and hit his forehead?

1. Lift the baby, inspect the frontal area for the presence of an open wound, changes in the shape of the skull.
2. Having hit the sharp object, the baby can get gaping wounds in the forehead area and abundant. IN this case It is worth calling an urgent medical care and in parallel to impose a gouring bandage or tie up the head with sterile bandages.
3. Before the arrival of medical care, calm down and do not panic. Fix the changes in the behavior of the child, the approximate amount of blood loss, tell me the doctor, if there was vomiting.

   No tablets should not be given.

4. The child hit his forehead about the corner of the table top, and got out the "huge" bump? Most often, entitled "Shishka" is understood as the subcutaneous hematoma, which could appear when the baby hit his forehead strongly and damaged the vessel, but the skin remained intact. Venous blood comes under the skin and accumulates. Depending on the size of the hematoma and the well-being of the child, the first aid will be different.

With a small hematoma and not disturbed by the general condition, the child can be applied cold.

It may be meat or dumplings that come from the freezer and applied to the skin of the kid only through a clean towel or dense fabric For a short time.

Usually about two to three minutes, followed by a break for five minutes.

The cold object can apply excessive cooling of the skin, and the child except the hematoma will get frostbite!

Should immediately seek medical care, if a:

• the hematoma is big, causes anxiety and crying a child, the baby does not allow to touch the damaged region;
• the child after a short crying and the appearance of the bump quickly fell asleep, does not wake up for attempts to wake him up.

Do not make independent manipulations with the failed area, do not apply ointment and do not pierce, do not give painkillers and solutions.

In the first few hours after the child hit his forehead, it can be disturbed by dizziness, two-minded items. Kids shame will pip out eyes, try not to tweer your head.

Try in this period not to disturb the baby. It is advisable to do without games on the tablet and watching cartoons. It is necessary to provide visual peace and make the child a cool compress on the forehead.

How to help if your child hit my nose?

1. If after hitting the blood from the nose, do not throw the baby's head. Why? Because you need to know how much the baby is lost in the event that there was no bleeding for a long time to provide adequate medical care and avoid adverse consequences.
2. Lay on a flat surface. So that the baby does not scare the type of blood, you can shallowly enter into the outer nasal stroke of a sterile gauze napkin.

   You do not need to try to shove the gauze tampon as you can, so that then without additional traumatization of the mucosa, remove it. It is advisable not to use cotton wool or cotton discs, as you have to "dypipe" a cotton disk, impregnated with blood from the wall of the nose, and the VATI patches can worsen the regeneration (restoration) of the mucous membrane. If the child has blood coagulation diseases, you need to contact medical institution. There, drugs will help stop blood.

3. After the blood stopped flowing and the child is ready for new feats, do not allow the baby to overvolt, follow the body temperature. There is no need to argue blood clots or rinse the nose, give vessels time to restore. In the first two to three days after the rewards hit, the thermal procedures are undesirable - bathroom, sauna, sauna.
