Patient's question:
The baby is seven and a half months old. I just cut his fingernails with scissors and accidentally cut into his flesh. There's a small cut. What should I do? Will it get infected? Can I use an alcohol sterilizing band-aid?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in the case where the baby's finger is scraped, it is recommended to use povidone-iodine to sterilize the local skin or gently wipe with a sterile cotton ball. Avoid getting it wet. If the wound is deep, re-bandage it with gauze. It is generally not contagious. You need to re-bandage the wound with a band-aid and use povidone-iodine to sterilize and disinfect. Pay attention to hygiene habits in daily life and maintain good habits. Eat light and digestible food.
