Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Face scratched by a child, two wounds about 7 millimeters long Injury occurred at: 10:00 AM today Examination results: Skin injury Past treatment and effectiveness: NoneDoctor's answer:
It should not be serious. If a child's hand has dust and is quite dirty, it's best to clean it a few times. Cleaning is quite simple. Use a bag of medical cotton swabs with rufinol, dip them, and gently rub. Start from the wound and wipe outward. Doing it once early or once late is sufficient. If the wound is quite clean and it happened in the morning, it's okay not to clean it. Be careful to avoid getting water on the wound when washing the child's face. Use a damp towel to wipe the face instead. Once the wound forms a scab, it will be fine.
