Burns From kids washing up under a too-hot faucet to an accidental tipping of a coffee cup, burns are a potential hazard in every home. Burns especially scalds from hot water and liquids, are some of the most common childhood accidents.
Nosebleeds Although they can be scary, nosebleeds are rarely cause for alarm. Common in kids ages 3 to 10 years, nosebleeds often stop on their own and can be treated safely at home.
Vomiting This often does not last long and is more disruptive than dangerous to your child. However, if kids (especially infants) are unable to take fluids adequately, and if there's also diarrhea, they could become dehydrated.
Bites and Scratches Animal bites and scratches, even minor ones, can become infected and spread bacteria to other parts of the body. Whether the animal is a family pet or a creature from the "wild," scratches and bites can carry disease.
Broken Bones, Sprains, and Strains A broken (fractured) bone requires emergency care. Suspect a possible broken bone if your child heard or felt a bone snap, if your child has difficulty moving the injured part.
