How to get rid of the painful wound?
Patient: Samuel Jin (14 Years Old... babyish though) I just went out on my bike, and my tires slipped and I got a 6 inch by 3 inch wound with concrete studs on it. I washed it (Bravely...Proudly too...mostly of myself) and applied painful iodine. I m going to bed and don t want it pussing plz answer Doctor: Hello,As of now you can use analgesics / anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac / seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. There is risk of infection and you have to apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water. Oral antibiotics may also be required preferably amoxclav.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
