Children often bump into each other but it is sometimes difficult for parents to know whether to go to the emergency room or not… A child safety expert explains everything.
Whether they start walking or not, the children bump into each other and sometimes they do pretty stunts. Whether in the head or legs, bruises come quickly but you still have to be vigilant. The corners of the table, the doors, the floor, the steps, the chairs, no matter how much you do to protect them, they always find something to hurt themselves…And it is sometimes difficult to know when it is necessary to take them to the emergency room or not!
Child safety expert Nikki Jurcutz posted a video on the account @tinyheartseducation that helps parents protect their children. In this video, the specialist explains how to know if a sore in the head is dangerous or not for a little one and whether to go to the emergency room. She explains this in three points to remember.

The 3 points to remember for children’s sores on the head
The video titled “Three situations when you need to call an ambulance for your child immediately after a blow to the head” has already been viewed more than 360,000 times on Instagram. The parents welcomed the initiative of Nikki Jurcutz which will really help them to see more clearly and avoid a drama. First, if the child falls from a height that is twice his heightcall emergency services immediately. Second, if your child loses consciousness right after a fall or a little later, it is also a very alarming sign. And finally, if the little one vomits more than once after a head injury, you have to go to the emergency room. The expert explains: “These are all signs of a moderate to severe head injury, which could indicate that the brain has suffered some sort of damage.”
Nikki Jurcutz was then contacted by the New York Post to provide details on the shocks to the head. In the event of a minor injury, she explains: “Apply a cold compress for 10 minutes and watch it. Then contact your GP if you notice anything concerning.” In any case, it is therefore necessary to be very vigilant when a child falls or bumps into the head!
