Accidents in the household

A small amount of carelessness is often enough to cause a bruise or painful swelling in the event of a fall or impact in everyday life.Blunt injuries are common in children.If, for example, a superficial blood vessel tears when falling from a bicycle or colliding with a playmate, the so-called “bruise” develops.

TIP: First aid for injuries
