i used to have the mentality that when theres a cut or an ulcer on ur mouth... you put some butter and sugar and the swell would not be bad and the wound would heal faster... i dont know where i heard that from...
but my friend had to burst the bubble!
"Butter and Sugar?? Dat one you spread onto ur bread and eat!"
so my mentality on wounds concerning the mouth was wrong eh? so he advised me to put salt instead... helps to join the skin together...
so i decided to ask a Rina.. someone au fait with medical...
"Salt! NO!!!! dat would cause infection!"
wrong again!!! my friend also anyhow give advise!.. maybe hes just like me.. just a mentality with no scientific proof watsoever...
i was supposed to get some medicine from the pharmacy which she recommends... but looking at the time yesterday... where got pharmacy dat is still open???
decided to use bonjela temporarily for the night.. which is actually for ulcers... but wat the heck...
apart from all these above.. i would also like to conclude some findings about wounds.. [Rina, correct me if im wrong]
what to do when u had just gotten a cut??
as the blood is flowing out, wash the wound a bit... subsequently, use a clean tissue paper and press on the wound to stop the blood from flowing.. dat would cause the blood to clot on the layer... this helps prevent bacteria from being in contact with the interior of the wound.. so there would be no infection...
heres a lil update on my cut...
the swell seems the same... but better as i can now converse much easily than last night... however now it appears theres pus forming or something on the wound... dat got me freaked out... i always freak out when theres injury on any part of my face... wahaha... well... of coz its time to visit the doc...
and the doc conclusion... infection.... dats strange... so fast.. within a day..
the doc infd that the mouth is the easiest to get infection as the mouth has a lot more bacteria than any parts of the body...
dats a fact dat u guys might want to take note... 0 comments
