How to deal with a fall

1. Check for fractures

No matter where you fall and get hurt, you should first try to move the part that fell to see if there is any fracture. If you break a bone, it will be very painful and you won't be able to move, so you must go to the hospital immediately. If there is no fracture, you can still walk and are not sweating from the pain, then you are generally fine and there is no need to scare yourself.

2. Clean the wound

If a general fall causes some wounds, you must treat the wound in time to prevent infection. If you do not have disinfectants or anti-inflammatory drugs such as iodine or alcohol, you can first treat it appropriately with clean water to prevent scabs and scars from forming in the future. If the wound is not big, you don’t need to bandage it, but you should prevent it from contacting water, dust and other dirt to prevent infection.

3. Change the dressing every day

It is recommended to change the dressing every day, and it is best not to wrap it. Contact with air is more conducive to wound healing. If the gauze is stuck to the wound, you can moisten it with hydrogen peroxide or 0.9% saline and slowly remove it. Using these two moistening methods will be less painful.

4. Hot compress to reduce swelling

After an interval of twenty-four hours, you can use hot compresses to reduce swelling, which will help speed up blood return and reduce congestion. Of course, you can take some medicines such as Di Da Pills and use some other medications in conjunction with them.
