When a child falls and breaks his skin, different treatments need to be decided according to the severity of the skin injury.
1. If the skin is broken to a lesser extent, just the surface of the skin is broken, you can clean and disinfect the wound with iodophor, apply antibiotic ointment, such as mupirocin ointment, etc., and then use sterile gauze to bandage it.
2. If the degree of skin breakage is heavier, the wound is deeper, or accompanied by mud, dirt and other contamination, it should be promptly rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and then cleaned and sutured, and then apply antibiotic ointment, such as mupirocin ointment, etc., to avoid bacterial infection.
3. If the degree of skin breakage is very serious, and the blood flow still cannot be stopped after disinfection and bandaging, suture or simple surgical treatment may be needed.
Patients should pay attention to strengthen the nutrition, daily should be supplemented with high quality protein and vitamins.
All medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be used on their own to avoid adverse consequences.
