What should I do if my knee is bruised and festering

The knee abrasion and suppuration indicate that the wound has not healed well and has caused infection. At this time, it is necessary to observe whether the suppurating wound is serious. It is recommended to go to the hospital for more comprehensive and scientific treatment and take some anti-inflammatory drugs.

1. First, observe the suppuration of the wound to determine whether the suppuration is serious, whether there are symptoms of internal suppuration, whether tissue necrosis has occurred, etc.

2. For patients with mild wound suppuration, they can take some anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions, and then use saline to rinse the wound. After washing the pus, you can use iodine to disinfect and sterilize.

Another method is to add ginger and salt into boiling water, wrap the festering wound with gauze, and steam the wound in the boiling water with salt until the water is no longer hot. This method is the simplest steam method, which is clean and convenient and usually lasts about 5 minutes.

3. For some patients with more serious wound suppuration, long-term infection may cause tissue necrosis. For this type of wound suppuration, we need to first clean the patient's necrotic tissue to avoid worsening of the wound infection. After cleaning the pus, use saline solution to clean the wound and use drugs that can quickly repair the wound for treatment.

4. If you can feel water waves inside your wound, then the suppuration is very serious and you must go to the hospital to cut open the wound, release the pus inside and then disinfect it. If your wound only has some redness around it, then you don't have to worry, as this is a sign that the wound is about to heal.
