A few days after finger stitches? Need an injection!
The purpose of dressing change is not to clean the wound with disinfectant and change the dressing of the wound, but to clean the wound, kill the bacteria that may exist around the wound and reduce the chance of infection and inflammation of the wound. Disinfectants are generally medical alcohol and iodophor, and dressings are generally sterile gauze or application. If you don't have these items and don't know the details of dressing change operation, you'd better go to the hospital for dressing change.

As for the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, the purpose is to prevent wound infection and inflammation. You can have an injection or only take it orally. Amoxicillin and Junerqing dispersible tablets are all acceptable. If the wound is deep, consider tetanus antitoxin.

It takes about 14 days to take out stitches, just like dressing change, and it should be kept sterile. It is recommended to go to the hospital to have stitches removed.

In daily life and work, pay attention to protect injured fingers, avoid soaking and mechanical damage, and reduce finger movement, which is conducive to wound healing.
