Talk to General / Diabetic on Accident Wound
Asking for Self, Male, 25 years old, Karachi
A few days back, i posted about my husband’s accident wound. Some of the doctors here suggested to apply polyfax and clean it with pyodine.
I was doing that, he visited a doctor and the doctor put a bandage over the wound for one day, and told us to take it off the next day.
The wound on the knee now looks like this (picture attached) it’s been 8 days to the accident.
Can the doctors please guide me what do i do further?
1) should i cover it with a bandage) 2) should i apply GREEN polyfax, instead of the blue one? 3) should i give him tablet augmentin as antibiotic?

I would suggest that you apply blue polyfax, the only difference between blue and green polyfax is that green contains xylocaine which would help with pain and since he does not have any pain... Blue polyfax twice a day is more than enough and there is no need for Augmentin at the moment.
plz discuss with Surgeon not physician/ internal medicine doctor
Regards
looks like having pus , it is needed to be examined by surgeon

Clean it witb pyodine and apply polyfax. leave it uncovered. make sure he's not diabetic, if he is, keep a good control of his diabetes.

Clean the wound with pyodine or saline, apply non adhesive dressing on it . Change dressing on alternative days until the wound is getting the top skin back. Get it checked if the colour got black or pus starts coming off. At this stage, wound is healing well.

if he is diabetic his management would be first control the sugar level . then start antibiotics tab augmentin 1g bd and tab novidate 500 mg once daily . mix pyodine with normal saline and wash the wound daily . no need of bandage
Daily pyodine and then saline wash daily . Put polyfax and then cover with sufratulle antiseptic netted patch on it . Give valocef three times a day for 5 days . Check if he is diabetic . Do fasting blood sugar if required HbA1c
Latest Researches have shown that Pyodine delays the healing of wound.Furthermore,the wound is looking clean and healthy.Just take ur prescribed antibiotics and clean the wound with normal saline.It will take some time to heal completely..If u want further consultation or consultation regarding other matter,kindly book an appointment.!

Simply Clean the wound especially the margins that are dirty with pyodine and left it open, it will heal on its own. Incase of discharging fluid from the wound you can give antibiotic

Clean the wound with normal saline and pyodine daily. Use guaze piece too. Apply fucidin cream later. Consult a surgeon if there's yellow discharge or black necrotic tissue.
Give Tab Augmentin 1g (1+0+1) for 5 days
And if there's pain, Use tab nuberol forte.

Dr. Shumma Raja - Family Medicine

It’s healing. Just keep it clean and dry.
Looks like the wound is healing. Continue with Polyfax plus. Is there any pus coming?any fever? If he is going out, you can apply polyfax and cover lightly. If there is fever or pus, only then we need to give antibiotics. Did he get Tetanus injection after the injury or in the past 5-10 years.
the wound is healing clean it daily with normal saline or alcohol swab and apply polyfax. no need to cover it unless patient is going out . in that case cover it lightly with gauze piece.
patient ko fever tou nhi?

Before starting antibiotic I would suggest to get a pus Cs /wound Cs done. You can give Tb Augmentin 1.2 gm bd. Keep it clean with pyodine and do regular dressing. Open wound is always at risk for infection so I suggest to give antibiotics.
