A bout of stabbing pain in a sutured wound is usually seen in the first three days after the wound is closed. It can usually be treated with pain medication, either oral NSAIDs or central pain medication. Most of the NSAIDs are available in pharmacies and are over-the-counter drugs, commonly used are ibuprofen, acetaminophen, nimesulide, celecoxib and other drugs. Among them, celecoxib has relatively small side effects on the gastrointestinal tract, so if you have stomach problems or gastrointestinal discomfort, you can apply celecoxib. If the application of NSAIDs does not stop the pain, central painkillers must be applied. This situation must be dealt with in the hospital and must be prescribed by a doctor to get central painkillers, commonly used is tramadol tablets, but also intramuscular or intravenous cranial painkillers, dizocin pain relief treatment. However, if the pain has been relieved for a period of time after the sutured wound, but suddenly there are bouts of stabbing pain, you must consider whether there is a wound infection. If you open the wound and see localized redness, swelling, heat and pain, accompanied by purulent secretions oozing out, there should be an infection. In this case, it is necessary to intermittently remove the stitches, open the wound and then drain the pus, and then thoroughly debride, disinfect and dress the wound, and then apply antibiotic anti-infection treatment, in order to completely stop the pain.
