What are the signs of wound inflammation?
Pharmacist's response:
Wound inflammation is a common phenomenon accompanied by swelling, pain, warmth, and skin discoloration around the wound. If these signs appear, it is essential to contact a doctor or specialist, as inflammation of the wound can lead to more severe health complications.
Occasionally, wound inflammation can cause fever, headache, and general malaise.
Treatment for wound inflammation can vary depending on the severity and cause of the inflammation and may include the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ointments, or wound care dressings. It is essential to clean the wound regularly and thoroughly and ensure it is well supplied with blood, as this is the only way to avoid inflammation.
