Treatment of minor wound suppuration

For patients with mild wound suppuration, they can take some anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions, and then use saline to rinse the wound. After washing the pus, you can use iodine to disinfect and sterilize, and then apply wet compress to the wound four times a day, each time for 20 to 30 minutes. Another method is to add ginger and salt into boiling water, wrap the festering wound with gauze, and steam the wound in the boiling water with salt until the water is no longer hot. This method is the simplest steam method, which is clean and convenient and usually lasts about 5 minutes.

Treatment of severe suppuration of wounds

Generally, wounds with severe suppuration are prone to tissue necrosis due to long-term infection. For this type of wound suppuration, we need to first clean the patient's necrotic tissue to avoid worsening of the wound infection. After cleaning the pus, use normal saline to clean the wound, and use Yu’s wound healing prescription to quickly repair the wound at the same time. For wounds, apply a wet compress with cotton wool for 30 to 40 minutes, four times a day.

Treatment of deep suppuration wounds

Some patients have wounds that fester deep in the body tissue, with a sense of swelling and fluctuation on the outside. This kind of suppuration is very serious and you must go to the hospital to cut open the wound, release the pus inside and then disinfect it. After treatment, you can cooperate with the doctor for treatment. If your wound only has some redness around it, then you don't have to worry, as this is a sign that the wound is about to heal. Note: Once the wound becomes festered, it is forbidden to use powder medicines. Powder medicines are not conducive to wound healing and will also cause pus and medicines to mix together, leading to poor healing.
