My child has a head wound stitched with 4 stitches. When is the best time to remove the stitches after a few days? Three shots were given.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In this case, considering the possibility of wound suture, it is recommended not to worry for the time being and to pay attention to observation. Pay attention to local hygiene, and it is generally better to remove the stitches after one week. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken to avoid the possibility of infection, and regular follow-up is recommended.
