Question
My baby is seven months old, and I just trimmed their nails by hand. What should I do if I accidentally cut his flesh and broke the skin a little? Will it be contagious? Can I use ethanol sanitizer and band-aid
Answer
Based on your description, if your baby’s finger is slightly torn after accidentally being cut while trimming their nails, it is recommended to use iodine tincture to sterilize the affected area of the skin or gently wipe with a sterilized cotton ball. Keep the wound dry, and if the wound is deep, rewrap it with a bandage. Generally, it will not get infected. When rebandaging the wound, use an iodine tincture to sterilize and kill bacteria. Pay attention to hygiene habits and maintain good habits, eat light and easy-to-digest food.
