Stitches are generally painful. The pain of stitches generally appears after the anesthetic is metabolized, if there is a need for stitches means that the incision is relatively large, stitches will be carried out under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, so in the process of stitches generally do not feel the pain, but the anesthetic is metabolized after the pain will be felt. If the pain is unbearable after the stitches, you can apply ibuprofen and other drugs for pain relief as prescribed by the doctor, and if the pain is after a medium or large surgery, an analgesic pump is usually used for pain relief. After the stitches should keep the wound dry and clean to prevent infection, but also to avoid strenuous activities to prevent the wound from cracking, moderate supplementation of protein-rich foods. If you need medication after the stitches, you should go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and use the medication as prescribed by the doctor, rather than using the medication blindly on your own to avoid adverse effects on your body.
