Generally, wound itching is a sign of healing.

1. Is wound pain a sign of healing?

Wound pain is not a sign of healing. Generally, wounds do not cause significant pain during the healing process, and some people may experience mild itching around the wound. Pain is an abnormal symptom, which may be caused by wound infection, too tight bandaging, or fracture activity. It is recommended that patients go to a regular public hospital for examination and treatment after a clear diagnosis.

2. What should I do if my wound hurts?

If wound pain is caused by infection, first use physical therapy methods such as cold or heat compresses to relieve local pain. If the effect is not good, anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins and amoxicillin can be used. If the pain is severe, painkillers and pain pumps can be used. Wound itching indicates healing. Take good care of the wound, avoid getting it wet, change the dressing actively, maintain a positive attitude, pay attention to daily diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and avoid eating foods like beef and mutton.
