How To Treat Your Wound

Okay hallo this is my first post. I want to share about my experience yesterday when i accidentally cutted my finger with knife when i helped my mom. I was panicked seeing that my blood is coming. I know when we bumped into that kind of situation panic won't help at all, thats only ruin everything. So i tried to calm myself down and find bandage in order to stop the blood. Then i got my phone on my side, ready to find out how to treat my wound In right way.

So here's the tips for treat your wound. For any wound, you should take the following steps:

1. Take care of the wound immediately, because even a minor wound can get infected if bacteria are allowed to build up in the wound site. If the wound is minor, you should apply first aid at home. If you get a puncture wound or step on a rusty nail, you should see a doctor immediately, because you may need a tetanus shot. If you don't know whether you're due for a tetanus shot, don't take any chances. Call your doctor. If the puncture wound is from a human or animal bite, seek emergency medical attention. If the cut is deep or has jagged edges, you may need stitches to close the wound.

2. Clean the wound with water. Avoid using soap, hydrogen peroxide, or iodine, which can irritate the injury. Hold the wound under running water to remove dirt, and use steriled tweezers to remove remaining debris. If you can't get the wound clean, see a doctor, because the dirt could trigger an infection. If there is a large object embedded in the wound, leave it alone and seek emergency help.

3. When the wound is clean, apply antibiotic ointment one to three times a day to prevent infection, and cover it in a sterile bandage. Before reapplying ointment, clean the wound. Stop using the ointment if you develop a rashor other reaction.

4. Change the bandage daily, and use soap to clean the skin around the wound.If the injury doesn't stop bleeding on its own, use a clean cloth to apply pressure. Maintain the pressure for 20 minutes while elevating the wounded area, if possible. If bleeding continues after 20 minutes of pressure or spurts out of the wound, seek medical help.Watch the wound to make sure it is healing. If the wound does not begin to heal or grows red, warm, and/or inflamed, or the skin around it shows red streaks, seek medical care immediately.

So i hope you get your wound healing^^
