Precautions after wound stitches

For larger wounds, stitches should be placed in a timely manner to ensure that the wound heals gradually. After stitches are placed on the wound, emphasis should be placed on nutrition, and anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. Medication should be changed regularly to prevent infection. After this type of treatment, strenuous activities in the wound area should be avoided as this can easily affect wound recovery. Also, attention should be paid to diet, and foods that irritate the wound should not be eaten.

What should be paid attention to after wound suture

1. When washing the wound, the patient should try to stay relaxed and distract his attention.

2. If the wound is painful, you can take painkillers or spray pain-relieving powder before cleaning the wound.

3. If there is pus in the wound, use two cotton balls to squeeze it out as much as possible.

4. If the wound is bleeding, apply a little pressure to the bleeding area to help stop the bleeding.

5. Ulcerated wounds have a foul odor, indicating necrotic tissue, such as rotting tissue. You can first use tap water to wash it under high pressure, then clean the wound, try to remove the rotting flesh, and then cover it with activated carbon dressings to help absorb the odor.
