What to do if you cut your finger with a kitchen knife

The kitchen knives used are fast and large, and many girls may accidentally cut their hands when cutting vegetables. The wound will bleed within a short period of time after cutting it, and must be rinsed under the faucet immediately. After cooling with cold water, apply gauze or adhesive bandages to the affected area. If the bleeding is severe or the wound is too deep, go to the hospital for timely examination. In order to avoid infection, the wound needs to be disinfected.

How should I treat the wound if I accidentally cut my hand and it keeps bleeding?

Tools/Raw Materials

A bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a container, some cotton swabs, a bag of gauze, a bag of adhesive tape, a band-aid

Methods/Steps

First, use a cotton swab to dip the wound in hydrogen peroxide and wipe it to clean the debris and blood around the wound. If the wound bleeds too much, you can directly pour hydrogen peroxide to rinse it.

Do not use clean water on bleeding wounds. Only medicines such as hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean the wound. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide in a pharmacy costs 1-2 yuan.

After cleaning, immediately apply pressure to the wound with gauze, press the wound hard, and bandage the wound tightly with gauze. This is the process of stopping bleeding, which is very important. You must apply pressure to stop bleeding. Only when the bleeding is stopped will it work.

An important method of applying pressure to stop bleeding is to fix the gauze firmly with adhesive tape, so that pressing the wound can stop the bleeding quickly.

If it is not a big wound and only a little blood is left, there is no need to use gauze. You can directly use a Band-Aid. The method and steps are the same as above. Just replace the gauze with a Band-Aid. The wound cleaning process is also necessary. It is not good if it is infected and festering.

Everyone should know how to deal with these basic daily emergencies. When encountering a problem, it is better to remain calm first. Once you have learned the methods, remember to wash the wound with hydrogen peroxide and apply pressure to the wound with a gauze Band-Aid. Simple treatment can quickly stop the crisis and you can calm down.

Precautions

The gauze must be clean, and the hydrogen peroxide and medicine must not be expired. The dressing must be changed and the wound cleaned on time every day. Don't be lazy. If you don't change the dressing for several days, the gauze and the flesh on the wound will grow together and it will be more difficult to deal with. Remember to change the dressing every day.

When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with wounds (oxides), a reduction reaction will occur, producing many bubbles. This is a normal phenomenon. If no bubbles are produced during the daily dressing change process, it means that the wound has basically healed and the gauze can be replaced with a Band-Aid.
