Patient's question:
The child got cut last Thursday evening with a stainless steel clip and it started bleeding! After applying medicine, they used iodophor for sterilization and applied Yunnan Baiyao, but they didn't get the tetanus vaccine. Is that a big deal? Urgent!Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, considering the nature of the wound like a child's, if it's not deep and relatively superficial, it may not require anesthesia or tetanus antitoxin. It is recommended to pay attention to maintaining local skin cleanliness and hygiene, preventing it from getting wet. In terms of diet, consume more easily digestible foods rich in vitamins and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The above advice is for the issue of "a child's hand being cut by a stainless steel clip last Thursday evening." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
