Children with knee abrasions can apply iodophor solution or benzalkonium chloride solution locally according to the severity of the wound, and then need to follow the doctor’s advice to change the medicine regularly.
1. Povidone-iodine has a good bactericidal effect and has little irritation to the skin without obvious adverse reactions, which can effectively prevent wound infection and promote healing; if the area of the abrasion is small and the trauma is superficial with a small amount of bleeding, you can clean the wound with water or saline and then apply povidone-iodine solution locally.
2. Benzalkonium chloride solution has a stronger disinfection and sterilization effect, and has a more effective antibacterial effect on the bacteria and other infectious substances in the deeper layers of the skin lesions; if the trauma area is large and the wound is deep, the wound can be cleaned and coated with iodophor to disinfect it first, and then benzalkonium chloride solution can be used to disinfect and sterilize the wound.
3. After disinfection, you need to cover the wound with medical gauze and use medical tape to fix it, and then you need to change the dressing and disinfect it regularly to observe the wound, and if there is any abnormality in the wound, you should carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.
