Plain-language summary

Refugees live in camps under unusual living conditions. The children in the camps may not have enough safe facilities to play. If an injury occurred in these children, the classical and adequate regime of treatment may not be available. Hence, it may be valuable to find simple, cheap, and safe methods of treatment for their injuries.
