Unfortunately, this is not as funny as you think.
Of course, while the frost is not in a hurry to us, but there are still two months of winter ahead. And anything can happen, even such a seemingly absurd situation. The expert told what to do in order not to be left without language.
– Of course, adults rarely fall into iron “captivity” in the cold. Babies and children of school age are more often affected. And some adults have already learned from bitter experience and only at the mere mention of this frosty injury, they automatically run their tongues along the gums. So to speak, the memories of carefree courtyard fun are alive.
But, unfortunately, during the New Year holidays, big kids also get to tram stations. Often men. As they say, in the first 40 years of childhood, men are especially inventive. And there is. They manage to get injuries of strange origin. When doctors begin to find out the reasons, even the most brutal guys avert their eyes and, blushing with shame, confess to the most ridiculous … disputes. Yes, they are, so to speak, weak. For example, but weakly hold your palm over a candle or lighter for a minute? Yes, easily – and a second-degree burn is provided. And I bet you won’t get through a narrow loophole or jump over a high fence. No question – and all the holidays with stretching or, even worse, in a cast.
I have not yet met adult lovers of licking metal in the cold in my practice. But I want to give some advice to worried mothers, whose children, by the way, are in a very traumatic situation on purpose or by accident.
First, do not make any sudden movements. If the child is small, hold him, gently persuade him. Try to warm the frozen place yourself with your breath. The baby is unlikely to be able to do this on his own. If the child is older, let the air breathe out, thus the warmed surface of the tongue will be freed. Call your family or neighbors and ask them to take out a container of warm water.
A sharp jerk is contraindicated and very traumatic!
And do not forget that mucosal injuries take a long time to heal. Therefore, at first, there is only warm liquid food. And, of course, it is better to see a doctor.
If this happened and somehow (through stupidity, argument or in a state of amusement) an adult found himself in such a situation, then do not rush to laugh. The actions are the same as with the child. But try not to be silly in the New Year. All with the coming and watch the language!
