Patient's question:
My child was burned and the wound has rotted. What should I do if the wound rots after a burn?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, the burn and corrosion indicate a severe burn. Surgical treatment is necessary. After the necrotic tissue is surgically removed, new granulation tissue can grow. It can be disinfected with povidone-iodine, but it is not recommended that you perform the operation yourself. Let a professional doctor disinfect it for you. If necessary, intravenous infusion of anti-inflammatory drugs is required. Do not eat spicy, seafood, beef, lamb, or oily foods before the wound heals. Avoid contact with water to prevent infection.
