Bleeding from hamster bites requires immediate general treatment, and should also seek medical attention for medication in a timely manner.
1. General treatment: When bleeding from a hamster bite, the patient should immediately squeeze the wound from proximal to distal to promote the discharge of contaminated blood. At the same time, immediately use running water to flush the wound and apply local ice packs to help relieve swelling and pain symptoms. Patients can also disinfect the local skin with iodophor to prevent inflammation and infection.
2. Medication: For those who have been bitten by hamsters and are bleeding, there is no need to inject rabies vaccine for the time being because the possibility of hamsters carrying rabies virus is very small. If the wound is narrow and deep in addition to being small, it is easy to harbor tetanus bacillus, so some patients need to be vaccinated against tetanus.
It is recommended that those who are bitten by hamster bleeding take timely measures to minimize the impact on the health of the body. Pay attention to daily skin care, avoid foreign body friction stimulation.
