WOUND CARE

Since the grass is really not accessible this year due to our construction, the students have been having their recess on the blacktop mostly. Due to this, we are seeing many more abrasions to the knees, elbows, and hands. We will clean the abrasion with Bactine spray and apply a bandaid. We do not have antibiotic ointment in the office. Here is some information on basic wound care at home for your child with abrasions.

Proper care of wounds can prevent infection and speed the body’s healing process.

Treatment

• Immediately after the injury, wash thoroughly with clean water and mild soap. A cleanser like Bactine works great, as it has some pain relief in it and antibacterial components. Remove any visible dirt or debris from the wound. Apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding.

• Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the wound. Cover with a bandage.

• Clean the area twice daily with just soap and water, and apply a new bandage and ointment after cleaning. Do not use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol for cleaning, these products actually can slow down the healing of the wound, as it can burn all the good cells there trying to heal the wound.

• Continue this care until the wound is fully healed.

• Deep or gaping wounds may need stitches or other wound care from a medical professional. Some bite injuries may also require special attention.

When to contact a clinician

Initially, some mild redness directly around the wound is a normal part of healing, but seek medical care if there is any of the following:

Red "streaking" spreading out from the wound

Increased pain or swelling

Difficulty moving the affected area

Pus or odorous wound drainage

Warmth around the wound

Fever higher than 100.4 degrees

Poor healing, gaping wounds, bite injuries, etc.
