at home with Jo Frost - October 2012 - (Page 174)

Accidents happen, so BE PREPARED Children are always getting into scrapes around the house, but would you be able to cope in a real medical emergency? E very year, a whopping one million British children ﬁnd themselves in A&E departments, thanks to injuries sustained in their homes. In fact, accidents that happen in the place they feel most safe are the most common cause of death in youngsters over the age of one, with children under ﬁve at particular risk of hurting themselves. There are all sorts of hazards lurking in the home, from electrical ﬂexes lying around to choking on that coin left lying on the ﬂoor, and nasty burns from hair straighteners (which are as hot as an iron) that you forgot to unplug. We’ve put together a helpful guide so that in the event of an emergency, you know just what to do. CUTS Along with grazes, these are common in young children, particularly as they adjust to becoming mobile (and fall over a lot!). Most are minor and can be treated at home, but if a cut is more severe, you’ll need to seek medical help. What to look for Obviously, bleeding is the main sign. Infection is the biggest risk from a wound, so you need to keep an eye on the area for a few days. According to NHS Choices (www.nhs.uk), swelling or pus in the affected area, or WOUNDS MORE THAN 5CM LONG RUN A GREATER RISK OF INFECTION http://www.nhs.uk
