Four signs of surgical wound infection

The temperature in summer is soaring, and it is so hot that the bacteria in the wound seem to start to get busy. The wounds of many people have begun to heal slowly. How to judge whether the wound is infected is really simple. Follow me to find out.

 it is very simple to determine whether a wound is infected :

Persistent redness on the wound surface

The appearance of redness in the wound is generally a good sign that it is about to heal, but redness around the wound that tends to spread outwards may indicate an infection.

Wound swelling

When a wound is just injured, there is usually swelling caused by an inflammatory reaction, but the swelling does not subside and there is a tendency for the spleen to swell or expand.

It is likely to be infected and aggravated

Wound surface fever

The fever of the wound is considered an inflammatory reaction. As the wound repairs, if it continues to heat up, it indicates infection and may even delay the healing time of the wound.

Wound surface pain, is even worse

It is normal to feel a little pain after a fall or abrasion. However, if the pain gets worse or persists, or even the wound gets worse, consider the infection.

It is recommended that if the above situation occurs, seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid worsening the situation.

Postoperative wound care recommendations:

After surgery, you can use silicone gel scar dressings, which are a healing method that allows the wound to heal faster while preventing the wound from being invaded by foreign microorganisms, reducing the chance of infection, and is waterproof and antibacterial. One piece can be applied continuously for 2-3 days

to greatly reduce the contact with dirt during the entire healing process. How can you not feel at ease and no longer worry about wound infection?

In addition, medical silicone is added to it, which truly protects the wound and prevents scars. You don't have to worry about minor injuries in the hot summer.
