Whether children need to be sutured for a broken forehead needs to be judged according to the degree of skin laceration; for skin lacerations that bleed more than once and have deeper wounds, sutures are needed.
1. For simple skin abrasions, if the skin is not injured and there is no serious bleeding, usually no need for stitches, you can use iodine povidone, saline, hydrogen peroxide and other medications to promote wound healing and prevent wound infection.
2. For wounds that are deep and subcutaneous, longer in length, or with severe bleeding, it is necessary to explore the wound as soon as possible to see if there is any foreign body residue in the wound, and to perform debridement and suturing. After suturing, tetanus antitoxin inoculation is recommended, and dressing changes are recommended on the first, third and fifth days after suturing.
Children with trauma to the forehead are advised to go to the hospital promptly. For the combination of local hematoma, or severe headache, vomiting and other symptoms, it is recommended that further CT and other imaging tests have been clarified whether there is a skull fracture and other conditions. The above drugs need to be used under the guidance of clinicians.
