For some patients with only slight wound inflammation with redness and swelling, you can apply iodine tincture to the wound every day for disinfection.

If the inflammation of the episiotomy wound is more serious, the patient will show typical symptoms of wound inflammation such as redness, swelling, heat and pain at the wound site, and exudate will flow out. At this time, you can use normal saline to clean the wound and use targeted antibiotics to change the dressing.

If the patient's wound shows serious symptoms such as suppuration and ulcers, the wound will not show signs of healing for several weeks.
