The girl falls into hot water and burns her mother, who takes off her clothes, causing secondary injury

Nandu News reporter Rao Lidong and Zhang Zhitao said "Don't shave my hair off", which was the first sentence of 5-year-old Wu Yiling after she was sent to the hospital. On the afternoon of April 4, while playing at home with her 9-year-old brother, Wu Yiling accidentally fell into a bucket of hot water, causing burns of nearly 50% of her body. Yesterday, doctors from the South Hospital of Southern Medical University said that Wu Yiling had just passed the shock period, and the trauma might affect her future activities, so skin grafting was needed.

   MEI MEI falls into hot water

Ms. Yu's family comes from Hunan and now lives in Huizhou. Her husband is a construction worker. Ms. Yu has no job and takes care of her 5-year-old daughter Wu Yiling and 9-year-old son at home.

On April 4, during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, a couple of children stayed at home for the holiday. Ms. Yu put the electric wand in the plastic bucket as usual to prepare to boil water for their children to take a bath.

At that time, Yiling and her brother did not know what kind of game they were playing. They pushed and fought each other and chased happily. At about 3 p.m., Ms. Yu took the hot water out of the shower room and turned to the room to get her clothes. "I was going to go out to add some cold water when I finished taking my clothes. It was just a little short of time." Ms. Yu said about the situation at that time and regretted it. "It was all my fault as a mother.".

In pushing, Xiaoyiling sat down in the bucket of hot water. She didn't even have time to cry out for pain because she was eager to stand up. She just shouted, "Mom, help me!"

"Her brother was also scared silly at that time, but we didn't care about him anymore. These days, she gave him to my aunt and didn't know the situation." Hearing this, Ms. Yu quickly took her daughter out of the hot water and pulled the clothes off the child's body. Her action caused her daughter's chest and face, which were not injured, to be scalded.

   Sent to Guangzhou overnight

Ms. Yu's fellow townsman drove Yiling to the nearest Boluo People's Hospital. At about 4:00 a.m. on the 5th, Boluo People's Hospital said that Xiaoyiling needed to be transferred to another hospital, and the ambulance sent the child to Guangzhou South Hospital.

Yesterday afternoon, in the ward, Yiling lay prone on the bed, her whole body was wrapped tightly like a mummy in gauze, and she played the jigsaw puzzle in her father's mobile phone with her only active finger.

Ms. Yu said that Yiling is usually active and likes to laugh, paint and wear beautiful skirts. "After entering the hospital, her first words were," Don't shave my hair off ". Now she dare not let Xiaoyiling see her own appearance." I can't stand it myself, my skin is off, and my face is full of blisters, which makes my heart ache. ".

Dr. Yang, Yiling's chief doctor, said that Yiling's scald area was close to 50%, of which 30% was deep second degree scald. "For a child, it is a very serious scald.". Dr. Yang said that the injured parts of Yiling included her back, buttocks, waist and thighs. The burns on her face and chest were secondary injuries caused by taking off her clothes after being scalded. "The burns on her face and chest were not too serious, but the injuries on other parts were serious, which might affect her later activities."

Dr. Yang said that Xiao Yiling had just passed the shock period and was about to undergo skin grafting, which would cost about 200000 yuan.

"Now we have spent more than 60000 yuan, all of which are called one by one and borrowed from friends. No more money is needed," Ms. Yu said, hoping that some enthusiastic people can help Xiaoyiling.

   How to give first aid to children with burns?

Dr. Yang said that when children are scalded at home, they should first wash with flowing cold water to cool down, and do not tear off clothes too quickly. Because in the process of taking off clothes, parents are flustered, and the torn clothes may cause friction on the scalded skin, aggravating the damage to the scalded skin. Clothing with high temperature hot water can also cause burns when passing through uninjured skin, such as Xiao Yiling's face and chest burns.

In this case, you can cut the clothes with scissors, wash them with cold water, cool them down, and then simply bind them with clean towels, and send them to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
