On the Comparison of Hydrogen Peroxide and Alcohol in Wound Treatment
In the treatment of wounds, disinfection and sterilization are essential. The substances used, both hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are common.
Hydrogen peroxide is active, and it is easy to decompose and release oxygen. This oxygen has strong oxidizing power, can kill bacteria, and is especially good for purulent wounds. It can remove pus and rot and help the wound clean. However, it is irritating to new granulation buds. If the wound is deep and large, it can be used to prevent bubbles from forming, causing the wound to expand and unfavorable to healing.
Alcohol has strong disinfection power and can coagulate the protein of pathogens and die. Its action speed is often used for skin surface disinfection. However, alcohol is quite irritating. If applied to a damaged wound, the injured will suffer severe pain, and high concentrations of alcohol will damage the wound tissue and slow down the healing process.
Therefore, choose hydrogen peroxide or alcohol to treat the wound, when examining the condition of the wound. For shallow and small wounds, alcohol can quickly disinfect; if the wound is purulent or has foreign bodies, hydrogen peroxide is appropriate. In short, be careful with medication, and choose the appropriate agent according to the shape of the injury to help the wound heal quickly and avoid other diseases.
