Children’s arm abrasions, if relatively minor, can be wiped with iodine vapour cotton balls for local disinfection. If the abrasion area is large and the wound is deep, you need to go to the hospital in time to clean the wound.
If the child’s arm only has a slight abrasion of the skin, you can use iodophor cotton balls for local disinfection of the skin, and then cover the bandage with a sterile dressing, about 3 to 5 days after the wound can be improved.
However, if the child’s arm abrasion area is large, the wound is deeper, and there is a lot of silt residue in the wound, it is necessary to go to the hospital for debridement in a timely manner, and use hydrogen peroxide solution, saline for repeated rinsing to a clean, in order to avoid bacterial residue.
It is recommended that tetanus antitoxin or immunoglobulin be injected within 24 hours to prevent tetanus infection if the wound is deep.
