Treatment of wounds after a collision

Wound cleaning

Remove foreign matter from the wound to avoid foreign matter remaining on the wound surface, which may cause repeated infection of the wound, resulting in prolonged healing or even non-healing.

Wound disinfection

When choosing disinfectant, wounds can be repeatedly rinsed with low-concentration iodine or saline. For primary sutured wounds, alcohol dressing can be used. During the wound healing process, pay attention to regular disinfection, keep the wound clean, and avoid contamination by pollutants such as water and food.

Wound dressing

Don't tie the wound too tightly, keep the wound moist and allow it to fully contact with oxygen. Especially during the wound proliferation period, keeping the wound moist can increase the regeneration energy and migration speed of cortical cells and promote healing. Studies have found that moist wounds heal 1.5 times faster than dry wounds.

Do not abuse drugs

Local itching may occur during the wound healing process. This is because the new granulation tissue stimulates the peripheral nerves of the wound. Do not scratch or abuse hormonal drugs to relieve itching, so as not to affect wound healing. However, when local infection occurs and is accompanied by systemic symptoms, oral or intravenous antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor according to the patient's actual situation.

Dietary considerations during wound treatment

Avoid eating irritating foods, such as hot peppers, fried foods, and foods with heavy pigments, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C.
