Alcohol is usually not recommended for stitches, it can interfere with wound healing and may also lead to wound infection.
Alcohol intake can stimulate the dilation of the body’s capillaries, which increases wound exudate and interferes with wound growth and healing. In addition, drinking alcohol after getting stitches may irritate the wound and cause it to become hot and red or infected, which is not conducive to wound healing. If you are taking antibiotics to reduce inflammation after getting stitches, you should not drink alcohol, which is prone to serious adverse reactions. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol after getting stitches.
After the wound stitches can be supplemented with food rich in high protein and vitamins, avoid spicy and stimulating food, such as tobacco and alcohol. At the same time, you should insist on disinfecting the wound and changing the dressing every day. If the wound becomes infected, you should also seek medical attention.
