When we use sharp tools, we may leave wounds on our bodies due to some factors, or it may be caused by external factors rather than our own. If not treated properly in a timely manner, can the wound heal on its own when it becomes infected and suppurative? To answer this question, the editor has collected the following information. Let's take a look together.
For small wounds, taking anti-inflammatory medication can cure them through the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of the substance and your body's resistance. The infected area gradually becomes smaller and condenses into a viscous or hard pus like substance in the middle, which falls off, just like acne. It takes about a week to ten days.
If the wound is large, while taking anti-inflammatory medication, local debridement should also be carried out, such as cutting open to discharge pus and cleaning purulent secretions. Hydrogen peroxide solution can be used for cleaning, and finally fish fat ointment can be applied to promote pus discharge. If no longer infected, it will take about ten days.
During the period of wound inflammation and suppuration, pay attention to the care of the wound to avoid infection with foreign objects. At the same time, pay attention to daily diet, avoid consuming foods such as beef, mutton, seafood, etc. that are prone to aggravating infections, and consume more foods rich in protein, vitamins, and zinc. If the patient's skin has poor self-healing ability due to physical reasons, then it is necessary to use methods such as the "Yu Shi Shou Fang" for treatment to promote wound healing as soon as possible. During the wound healing period, it is also necessary to take good care of the wound to ensure that it is in a good environment and avoid infection.
For wound infection and suppuration, don't ignore it just because it's a minor illness or pain. If there are rust stains on the scratched tool, it's very likely to cause tetanus. When the wound becomes infected and suppurative, we should diligently change the dressing medication and gauze. To avoid scarring on the wound, we try to have a light diet as much as possible. That's all for today's content. I hope it can help everyone.
