How to deal with wound inflammation? Three steps to help you solve it

If abrasions and bruises are not treated in time, they will become inflamed, especially in the hot summer, which makes inflammation very easy. So, how to deal with inflammation? Generally, just apply some iodine and take some anti-inflammatory drugs. However, if the wound is not treated in time, it will be painful to deal with it.

First of all, you have to deal with the secretions. It is very painful, but this step must be taken, otherwise it will be difficult to heal. Use a cotton swab dipped in iodine to try to wipe it hard. If the white stuff cannot be wiped off, then you must take other measures, that is, let the white stuff fall off by itself. First disinfect with iodine, and then apply erythromycin ointment after disinfection. Emphasize: It must be an ointment, because the ointment can soften the white stuff. After the white stuff is softened, use a cotton swab or other tools to slowly remove the white stuff. After removing the white stuff, you can just apply some iodine, because iodine can disinfect and quickly dry the wound and scar.

Try to keep the wound away from water. If the wound is on the lower limbs, try to keep it elevated.

Salt can also be used to treat suppuration in wounds. 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.

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.
