Eye injuries in children
In case your child’s eye is injured, bring them directly to the ER. Watch out and look for any bleeding, redness, blurry vision, and inability of the child to move his or her eye. If there is any bleeding, use clean piece of cloth or gauze and place light pressure of the eye to stem the flow. After treatment, you can use ice packs and pain relievers for swelling and pain. Eye injuries often look worse than they actually are, because there are numerous blood vessels on the face that get damaged and bleed profusely in an injury. If your child falls or gets hit in the face by an object or simply gets into an accident, be sure to perform basic first aid before bringing him or her to the emergency room.
