❄️ Frostbite in Kids: What Jackson, TN Parents Need to Know
It’s been an extremely cold winter across West Tennessee — and kids are especially at risk for frostbite.
Because their little bodies lose heat faster, and because they don’t want to stop playing outside, frostbite can happen before they even realize they’re too cold.
If you think your child has frostbite:
✔️ Bring them indoors immediately
✔️ Do NOT rub the affected area
✔️ Avoid placing anything hot directly on the skin
✔️ Soak in warm (not hot) water for 20–30 minutes
✔️ Call your pediatrician if numbness or pain continues
If you’re in Jackson, TN or the surrounding Madison County area, The Children’s Clinic is here to help.
