What Immediate Actions Should be Taken When a Child is Injured?
Immediate actions depend on the type and severity of the injury. For minor injuries, such as small cuts or bruises, clean the wound with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a bandage. For more severe injuries, such as fractures or head trauma, immobilize the affected area and seek medical help immediately. In case of burns, cool the burn with running water for at least 10 minutes and cover it with a clean cloth. If poisoning is suspected, contact emergency services or a poison control center and follow their instructions.
