How to heal minor injuries in children?

Small wounds (scratches, cuts, stalks) should be washed with water, placing them under the faucet. Then we must try to remove particles and foreign bodies, if any, using some tweezers previously disinfected with alcohol.

Then you should use a product disinfectant, as tincture of iodine, and finally cover the wound with a sterile dressing, to avoid soiling again and infected.

In the cuts, the dressing should be placed at right angles to the wound, joining the edges of it to heal before. It is important to wash your hands very well (preferably with alcohol) before proceeding to cure the injury.
