To say what is the best heating "equipment" in winter, many people will say "warm baby"! It is small and lightweight, easy to carry, when you feel cold, stick a piece of it, it will make you feel warm and comfortable.
But do parents know? This thing that makes people feel warm and comfortable is likely to cause low temperature burns in children:
Is it really that serious?
Come and see the firefighter's experiment
What is a low temperature burn?
"Low-temperature scalding" refers to the body's long-term exposure to a heat source at a medium temperature (generally 44-50 ° C), causing progressive damage from the shallow dermis to the deep dermis and the tissues in the subcutaneous layers.
When using heating items, because the temperature is not too high, the sensory nerve endings of the skin gradually adapt to the contact with the heat source temperature, there is no obvious pain sensation and even for some people do not cause pain, but in the continuous heating of low heat energy, the surface tissue of the skin will gradually dehydrate under the action of thermal energy, causing damage, so low temperature burns are often not easy to be detected.
The harm of "low temperature burns" should not be underestimated
Unlike "high temperature burns", the pain of "low temperature burns" is not obvious, only erythema, edema, blistering, peeling and other symptoms will appear, and the area is relatively small. However, because the temperature is not high, the wound is difficult to detect, and when the symptoms actually appear, the degree of skin damage is already more serious.
So, parents don't underestimate the warm baby!
Prevention of "low-temperature burns"
Do 3 o'clock when using
1
Scientific shopping
No matter what kind of heating items, they should be purchased from formal channels and used correctly according to the product instructions.
In general, the warm baby of regular materials should be certified by national quality testing. However, some inferior warm babies produced by small workshops may use industrial waste iron powder in order to reduce costs, which may bring risks such as radiation.

Control temperature and time
Avoid direct contact with the skin by warming your baby, and avoid touching the same part of your warm baby for a long time.
Before the child goes to bed, parents must tell the child to remove the warm baby. Also remember not to warm your baby in front of the heater and on the electric blanket.

Strengthen caregiving
After using warm babies for children, as a guardian, you must take more care of them and observe the skin conditions of your children at any time.
Especially infants and young children, the skin is delicate, extremely sensitive to temperature, poor expression ability, if adults do not take good care, it is easy to cause burns.
Although children have the ability to express themselves, their attention is easily attracted to other things and needs to be used under parental supervision.
Properly handle burns
Remember the "Five Words Recipe"
If the child accidentally has a "low temperature burn", the skin appears red, swollen, blisters, do not think that the matter is small and do not have to seek medical treatment, let alone rub toothpaste, garlic, etc., or try to use needles to break the blisters.
These misuses not only increase the chance of wound infection, but also increase the difficulty of treatment during medical treatment, and affect the doctor's observation and judgment of the depth of the burn.
Correct handling Please remember: flush, take off, bubble, cover, medical 5 words.
Punch: "Cold treatment" immediately! Gently rinse or soak the wound as soon as possible with clean cold water (15-20 °C) for 10-30 minutes.
Take off: carefully remove the clothes, but if the burns are serious, the skin adheres to the clothes, you can use scissors to carefully cut and peel off the clothes, retain the adhesion to the skin part, pay attention not to pick up blisters.
Soaking: If the pain is obvious, you can soak in cold water for about 15 minutes, but pay attention to the water temperature and avoid catching a cold.
Cover: Gently cover the wound with clean gauze, towel, cotton, etc., taking care not to break the blisters.
Doctor: Unless the slight redness and swelling can be treated on their own, they should generally be sent to the hospital for further treatment after the injury.
