Your Treatment Options
Wound treatment is an intricate process that varies from person to person. The type and severity of your injury, current medical condition (if applicable), and personal preferences can affect what short- and long-term treatment options are best for you.
If your wound is more severe, you may require hospitalization. In this case, you will likely receive antibiotics to help prevent infection. We will routinely change the dressing around your wounds to eliminate all chance of possible infections. Using antibiotics with an open wound is necessary to ensure that bacteria or pathogens that enter the body through the open wound are eliminated. In severe cases, surgery may become necessary to close the wound.
Pain medication to manage any pain will be provided. No matter what type of wound you have, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. By doing so, you can ensure that the wound heals properly and does not become infected.
