Hydrogen Peroxide on Cut Next Steps
Actions after applying hydrogen peroxide to the wound
If there is a cut on the mortal skin, apply hydrogen peroxide to it, and then do everything with caution.
After applying hydrogen peroxide, the first thing is to gently wipe off the excess liquid in the wound with a clean gauze or cotton ball. Although this liquid can sterilize, it will remain for too long, or cause irritation to the wound tissue. When wiping, the action should be slow and light to prevent secondary damage.
Next, carefully inspect the injury. If the wound is shallow and the bleeding has stopped, an appropriate amount of antibiotic ointment, such as Mupirocin ointment, can be applied to prevent infection. When applying the medicine, make sure that the ointment is evenly applied to the surface of the wound.
If the wound is large, deep, or continues to bleed, after simple cleaning, it should be properly bandaged with clean gauze or bandage, apply some pressure to help stop the bleeding, and seek medical attention immediately. On the way, pay attention to keep the wound stable and do not let the dressing loose and shift.
Follow-up should pay attention to the changes of the injury. If the injury shows increased redness and swelling, fever, unbearable pain, or abnormal secretions, this is a sign of infection. Be sure to seek medical treatment in time, and must not delay.
Daily care of the injury should also be properly maintained to keep it clean and dry. Avoid contact with unclean objects to prevent bacteria from invading the wound. According to the recovery status of the injury, replace the bandage in a timely manner to promote the early healing of the wound.
