When a wound becomes septic, the first step is to flush the wound with hydrogen peroxide, saline, or saline under the operation of a healthcare worker to remove bacteria and foreign matter from the wound. If the wound is deeper, the wound should also be incised to drain the pus, and after the localized pus in the wound is completely removed, then use iodophor or alcohol to apply locally, and iodophor oil gauze to drain the pus in order to promote wound healing.
At the same time, the wound infection should also follow the doctor’s instructions to take antibiotics, to prevent inflammation aggravation, commonly used drugs are clindamycin, cefadroxil and so on.
Wound infection must be timely to the hospital, after formal treatment can be cured, but if not treated in time, the condition of aggravation can even cause septicemia.
