How do you know if your cut is infected?!


Question: How do you know if your cut is infected?
Answers:

It will become very sore and it will also become red and inflamed around the edges of the skin. Pus may also leak out of the wound. Clean the wound under some cold water, apply some antiseptic cream and apply the plaster. You should also use a plaster when dealing with messy things to prevent infection and don't pick the scab if you have one as re opening it will lead also to infection.

Studying First Aid



Usually prolonged pain, discolored scabbing or puss oozing are signs. If you start to feel unwell, see a doctor about getting antibiotics.
