How are children's antiseptic cleansers and antibiotic ointments different from general antiseptics and antibiotic ointments?
Children's antiseptic sprays and creams, like children's antibiotic creams and ointments, are often made to be sting-free. Children's wound treatments also may contain extra pain-relieving ingredients. Some antiseptics and wound cleansers for kids come in soothing gel and foam formulations that are fast and easy to apply.
When is it safe to use a liquid bandage?
Liquid bandage products are intended for minor cuts, scrapes, and wounds. A liquid bandage should never be applied inside the ears, nose, or mouth. Don't use liquid bandage products to cover wounds around the eyes, either.
Should I use hot or cold therapy for sports injuries?
Your health care provider is the best person to ask about treatments for injuries. However, minor sports injuries can often be relieved at home with hot or cold compresses. In general, use cold therapy to ease the immediate pain and swelling of bruises, joint strains, and muscle sprains. Heat therapy may increase the swelling of new injuries, but heat therapy can lessen the discomfort from long-term joint and muscle pain.
