Burns and scalds are among the most common injuries affecting children, but they are preventable with simple safety measures.

Always keep hot drinks and liquids out of children’s reach and store lighters and matches safely.

Never leave candles unattended and keep children away from stoves, grills, and fireplaces.

Supervise them closely around fireworks and sparklers. Avoid overloading sockets and unplug adapters when not in use. Keep portable heaters away from flammable items.

These steps can save your child from painful injuries and long-term scars.
