Teenagers in Jiangsu province have been instructed to be aware of safety alerts during the summer vacation so as to stay away from possible accidents.
According to the statistics of Nanjing Children's Hospital, children with moderate to severe burns account for 10% of patients at outpatient clinics. They get hurt from not being properly cared for by their families and being improperly placed in their homes.
The proportion of young patients admitted to the burn department of Changzhou Second Hospital has also increased to one-third of the total number of patients.
Doctors have cautioned that in the case of children suffering from burns, it is not desirable to wash the burns with cold water. If the child's wound is stuck with the clothes, you can try to cut it with scissors. If it is difficult to remove, it is best to ask the doctor for help. It is also not suggested to use scalding ointment, toothpaste, and pot ash.
Every summer, the tragedies of children getting drowned are reported here and there. Three people died while swimming in the Yangtze River in June, according to police in Yangzhou.
Parents are advised to be on alert when taking their children to lakeside or riverside.
It is also warned that parents should take good care of their children in the summer vacation in case they get lost. A five-year-old in Nanjing and a six-year-old in Lianyungang were reportedly missing late June. Fortunately, they were traced after by the police and got reunited with their parents.
