How Can An Open Wound On The Head Be Taken Care Of?

default
Posted on Tue, 6 Dec 2016
Question: My daughter (2.5 years old) got injured yesterday on front side of her head. I gave her first aid and she responded fine after that. Till now I can't see any abnormal/inappropriate behavior apart from the injury she has got which I believe will take some time to heal. I haven't consulted any doctor since she look perfect to me but will do the same if there is something to worry about.

Is there any medicine/syrup I can give to my daughter which can help her to recover quickly? As of now, I am bandaging her using betadine.

Brief Answer:
Need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
Do not panic much.

Just give her Syr.Ibrugesic 4 ml if she has any pain. Apply T.bact ointment if she has any small open wound. This will take care. Also give ice fomentation if any swelling is seen.

Any issue do follow up.

Take care.
