I. prevent frostbite of children’s hands and feet in winter
Frostbite is a common skin injury in winter, which is caused by skin vasospasm caused by low temperature and humidity. Children have low skin resistance and poor adaptability, so they are easy to be frostbitten. Generally, in early winter and early spring, frostbite occurs in parts with poor blood circulation such as hands, feet and ears because children do not know how to keep warm. Because children like to play outdoors, and like to play with ice and snow, plus children’s skin resistance is low, poor adaptability, so it is easy to be frostbitten. In addition, children are prone to sweating when playing, and their skin is prone to frostbite in a humid environment
Some children tighten their shoes and socks too tightly, stand still for a long time or immerse in the water for a long time, which can hinder local blood circulation, thus reducing heat and causing frostbite
Parents should be careful not to bake their children directly with fire after finding their children’s frostbite. All frostbitten parts should be warmed as slowly as possible until their normal body temperature is restored. It is generally advocated to soak in warm water. If you can’t find warm water for a while, you can put the frostbitten part of the child under the armpit of the parent for warming

second, the key to prevent frostbite is to keep warm and moisture-proof
The key to prevent frostbite is prevention. The key point of prevention is to keep partial heat preservation and moisture-proof, and keep clean and dry. From late autumn, the exposed parts of children’s hands, feet, auricles and so on are vulnerable to the cold wind, which may turn red or even swell. If left unchecked, they will become frostbite in winter. At ordinary times, children should be exposed to outdoor air to exercise their skin
The warning signs of frostbite often begin to appear very early. If you pay attention to observation, it will not develop to a serious level. When children are found to have slight signs of frostbite, they should be massaged in time to improve local blood circulation
When you find that your child’s hands and feet are wet, try not to let the cold wind blow directly, and change into dry clothes as soon as possible. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, children should wear cotton shoes, cotton clothes, cotton gloves, scarves, etc. Children’s gloves and socks should not be too tight, and should be kept clean and dry. Don’t give children too hard and crowded shoes, don’t let children stand still in the cold wind for a long time, and let them move their hands and feet
III. how to deal with frostbite in children
Keep warm and damp proof. When the baby is wearing clothes, he must pay attention to keeping warm and moisture-proof. If he is warm, he will not suffer from frostbite. If he pays attention to moisture-proof, he can keep his skin dry
Regular care. The baby’s body skin should be cared for. The baby’s skin can be gently massaged, and the blood should not be blocked. This will keep chilblain away from the baby, and the baby with chilblain will continue to reduce symptoms
High calorie food. In the cold season, the baby’s own calories are not enough. At this time, give the baby some high calorie food, so that the baby can increase the ability to resist the cold
Exercise promotes blood circulation. The baby can do some necessary exercises outdoors to make the baby’s body strong in this way, so that the blood can flow more smoothly, and chilblain will naturally stay away from the baby
Medication. For babies who have chilblain, we must pay attention to the use of good medicine, so that the baby can recover quickly. We must avoid the baby catching chilblain with his own hands, and it is best to ensure that he cannot catch it, so as to avoid the baby’s skin being scratched
Do not bake or apply hot water. Parents should not be anxious. Family members sometimes use hot water to apply chilblain. This practice is also wrong, which may hurt the baby. We must keep the baby healthy
IV. how to cure frostbite
1. Treatment of chilblain with vinegar Angelica:
Put 20 grams of Angelica sinensis and 500 grams of vinegar in a casserole and boil them over low heat for 30 minutes. Take the juice and wash the affected area until the skin is loose and wrinkled. Generally, chilblain can heal after 7 days and will not recur in the second year
2. Garlic to prevent frostbite:
Before winter, mash the purple garlic into mud, apply it to the parts that have suffered frostbite, or wrap it with cloth, wash it after 24 hours, and apply it again every 3 days to prevent frostbite
3. Egg yolk therapy for chilblain:
Put the boiled egg yolk on an iron spoon, bake it over a slow fire, and take the separated egg yolk oil for standby. First wash the affected area with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, then apply egg butter, and wrap it with gauze. Generally, it takes about 4 days to heal the frostbite ulcer
4. Treatment of chilblain with Shangshi Zhitong ointment:
Sprinkle the fine powder of red pepper in the center of Shangshi Zhitong ointment and stick it on the place where chilblain has not collapsed, which can speed up the recovery
5. Ginger Baijiu treatment of chilblain:
Cut the ginger into pieces, boil it in an appropriate amount of Baijiu, remove the residue and take the juice, and dip it in the affected part with a cotton ball to cure the unbroken chilblain
