How to tend to Cuts and Abrasions

By -
Little feet of our kids are tirelessly traipsing to discover their world.  As they clamber around, most certainly they come up with a few cuts and abrasion.  We need to care for these scrapes and scabs to avoid infection.

 For minor cuts and abrasions with little to no bleeding;

  • Wash down the wound under running water to irrigate out dirt and debris. Thoroughly wash the wound with mild soap or better to use an anti-bacterial soap then rinse thoroughly.
  • Apply antiseptic like Povidone Iodine (Betadine) and cover the wound with sterile gauze or bandage to prevent them from poking it.
  • Examine the wound daily, keeping an eye out for redness, swelling or pus which is an indication of infection.
  • Change the dressing as needed.  Leave the bandages off once a scab forms
For large cuts and abrasions, with continuous bleeding
  • Wash down the wound under running water to irrigate out as much dirt and debris as you can 
  • Have your child sit or lie and raise the bleeding wound above the level of your child’s heart. 
  • Place a piece of clean cloth over the entire wound 
  • Using the palm of your hand, apply direct and steady pressure on the wound continuously for 5 minutes.  Do not stop to check the wound. If blood soaks through the cloth, do not remove it.  Place another cloth pad on top and continue applying pressure until the bleeding stops
  • Seek immediate medical attention for your child once you’ve controlled the bleeding.

    waaaah! this reminded me of the time when I slipped on the side street sewer w/c has broken glass hidden in the dark green water. It tore-up the skin on my right knee and I saw the white stuff. I know it's supposed to be stitched but I'm not sure why my parents did not take me to the hospital. We just kept on cleaning it and applying crushed antibiotics. It took several months for the wound to be completely healed.

    I cab still remember how may playmates and their parents were so panicked after seeing my open wound. They applied alcohol on the sides and placed some sort of ointment on the open wound w/c kept me crying and screaming. My yaya (nanny) was so enraged "at me" that when she gave me a bath, she even scrubbed the wound.

    But I'm glad it's all in the past...phew! what a day that was...

    I still have the scar to prove it... ^_^

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

By -
Image
Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
