Question
Doctor, hello. On June 16, 2012, a little boy, 1 year and 9 months old, accidentally got cut by glass while playing, and was diagnosed at the hospital as having an avulsion of about 1.5CM x 1.0CM of skin and soft tissue on the big toe of the right foot.
Answer
Postoperative treatment requires a large amount of antibiotic therapy, elevation of the affected limb, and avoidance of spicy and other irritating foods. In general, it’s important to enhance nutrition and avoid fussy eating. Children have relatively weak body resistance, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, do not rush; instead, take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for your child and use medication reasonably under the doctor’s guidance.
