Assess hand or arm injury in children
Hello dear parents or educators, etc., the toddler is obviously hurt, roars like a spit and holds one arm with the other?
To estimate roughly and only the intensity of pain, you should have lollipops or similar ready, and then you talk calmly to the child and presses him a favorite stuffed animal or something beloved in the hand. It will have to be the healthy hand for it.
And then you arrive with the Lolli. Now the child has to decide. Too much pain or compromise possible and also take the sick hand?
Of course, this rough assessment does not replace the doctor's visit, but for the time in between, which of course has to be kept as low as possible, you may be comforting yourself the most, which child likes. When you use your second hand, you often notice which way it will go.
If child really does not do anything by hand, it will of course be comforting and a helping hand to transport the lollipop or teddie.
And yes, if you do not want a sugar reward object, take something else, the main thing is that little kid is crazy about it.
All the best, so that the hands stay healthy.
