Treatment method of wound surface
1. Debridement Because the scratched surface is often stained with dirt and other dirt, cleaning the wound surface is a key step to prevent wound infection. You can use light salt water (1000 ml of cold boiled water and 9 g of salt, the concentration is about 0.9%). If there are no conditions, you can also use tap water and well water to wash with clean cotton balls to wash away dirt and other dirt.
2. Those who have disinfection conditions can disinfect the wound with iodine and alcohol cotton balls and wipe it outward along the edge of the wound. Be careful not to put iodine and alcohol into the wound, otherwise it will cause strong irritation and pain. You can also use 20% leaf decoction instead of iodine and alcohol to disinfect the skin.
3. You can apply a little mercuric chloride to the wound, which has antiseptic effect and little irritation. However, it should be noted that it is not suitable to use with tincture of iodine, because they can generate mercuric iodide, which is corrosive to the skin; Please don't use it if you are allergic to mercury. Fresh wounds should not be coated with purple liquid medicine (gentian purple). Although this medicine has a strong bactericidal effect, it has a strong astringent effect. After smearing, the wound surface is easy to form a hard scab, and the exudate under the scab accumulates, which is easy to cause infection.
4. Wrap the wound with sterile gauze or clean cloth (iron can be used several times). Small wounds can also be bandaged, but attention should be paid to keeping the wound clean and dry, and try not to get wet before the wound scabs.
5. Treatment of infected wounds If the wound is infected, the wound can be washed with light salt water and then coated with purple liquid; Or grinding fresh Herba Violae, heating and sterilizing, adding the same amount of glycerol and twice the amount of water, concocting into paste, and applying it to the affected part, and changing the medicine every day or every other day 1 time. For the early suppurative inflammation of skin and superficial soft tissue, it can be effective by applying the medicine several times. You can also mash garlic to get juice, take 1 part of garlic juice, add 3-4 parts of cold boiled water, and rinse the suppurative wound; If necessary, garlic juice can be diluted twice and then wet-packed, but garlic is irritating to the skin.
6. The child accidentally fell down while running and playing, causing local skin abrasions. This kind of abrasion is very shallow. Generally, you don't need to go to the hospital, just apply some mercurochrome or purple syrup to the wound. If the wound is dirty, it can be washed with clean water. Otherwise, after the wound is healed, dirt may remain in the skin and cannot be removed. Pay special attention to facial abrasions so as not to affect the child's appearance.
There is no need to dress the scraped wound, but care should be taken to avoid contact with water, dust and other dirt to prevent wound infection. When the face is scratched, if there is sand or cinder embedded in the skin, pay attention to scrub the wound with a soft brush in time. No cinder can stay in the skin, generally do not apply purple potion. If the scratch is large, after cleaning and disinfecting the facial wound, apply oil gauze and then bandage it.
7. I took a bath the night before disinfection with iodophor. I haven't touched water since the next day, so I still use iodophor for disinfection.
