Alcohol should not be consumed with stitches, as it may interfere with healing and may have serious adverse reactions with certain medications.
The presence of localized wounds may need to be treated with stitches, after which symptoms such as pain and mild swelling may occur, and drinking alcohol can cause these symptoms to worsen and also affect the healing of the wound site.
Because of this, if the injury is large, after the stitches, in order to avoid infection, it may need to be treated with oral antibiotics, such as cefdinir, amoxicillin and so on. After drinking alcohol, alcohol may have serious adverse reactions with the above medications.
Therefore, after the stitches, try not to drink alcohol, keep the wound site clean, avoid excessive tension and pressure, eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable use of medication for treatment.
