22.01.2022 CHILD SAFETY: As the weather gets colder the risk of burns and scalds gets higher. With children exposed to heaters, fireplaces and hot food and drink, winter is when kids are at the highest risk of suffering a burn. The Childrens Hospital at Westmead suggests the following:... Prevent scalds Supervise young children at all times when they are in or around the kitchen and bathroom. Keep hot food and drinks and all kitchen appliances out of reach of young children. Take care when serving or walking with hot drinks when young children are around. Check the temperature of the water before putting a young child in the bath. If your child has suffered a burn or a scald: Use cool running water on the burn for 20 minutes Remove clothing and jewellery if possible Call 000 or seek medical help if you are unsure Never use ice, iced water, cream, gel, toothpaste or butter on a burn as they can make the burn worse More info: http://www.schn.health.nsw.gov.au//burns-prevention-during
