Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I handle a situation where my baby has been pricked by a cactus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in such a case, it is recommended to use povidone-iodine for cleaning and disinfection, then remove the small spines of the cactus. This should be sufficient. Pay attention to hygiene. Monitor the situation and seek professional medical treatment at the hospital if necessary. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
