What are the symptoms of wound inflammation?

Bumps and bruises are inevitable in life, and most people don’t pay much attention to minor wounds. Although inflammation of the wound may occur frequently, especially in the summer. Once the wound becomes very painful, it may be inflamed.

Mild inflammation: The common symptoms of wound inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, pain and pus discharge. Generally, depending on the size of the wound, oral anti-inflammatory drugs or infusion treatment may be required. It may also require combined medication treatment, which depends on the specific wound.

In severe cases: In severe cases, pus may flow out, and the patient may suffer from general fatigue and fever. If there will be dysfunction around the joints.

Causes of wound inflammation:

There are two types of wound inflammation: one is aseptic inflammation, which is mostly caused by tissue necrosis; the other is subtle infection. In the former case, there is generally a large amount of exudate, while in the latter case, suppuration occurs. Both require dressing changes. Medication may also be needed.

All bacteria that cause wound infections invade tissues and cause local changes and systemic poisoning. However, tetanus bacteria are different from other pathogens. Neither the bacteria nor the exotoxins they produce cause obvious pathological changes in the wound. Instead, they cause disease by secreting toxins that spread throughout the body. The exotoxins they produce are highly toxic and have a special affinity for nerves. After absorption, they are distributed in the spinal cord, brain stem, etc., which can be life-threatening.
