[HEALTH] How to prevent Wound Infection

There’s an old Pinoy saying among parents that goes “Hindi nga mapadapuan sa lamok,” which best describes their protective nature.

But if you’ve got kids, you know that no matter how hard you try to protect them or try to keep them safe, there are just some unavoidable circumstances that you can’t prevent. Accidents can and will happen, especially when they are playing and all we can do is be ready when it happens.

Children are exposed to different types of wounds and scrapes because of their daily activities. Even in the most harmless-looking places, they can still get hurt.

Moms need to make sure the wound doesn’t get infected. Infection occurs when bacteria enters the wound through a break on one’s skin. Bacteria may spread and lead to more serious diseases. Usually, the immediate response is to wash a wound well with soap and water. But cleaning may not be enough. It is also essential to apply a topical antibiotic like Fucidin at the first sign of wound infection.

Just like a lot of moms, Kris Aquino also goes full force against wound infection with Fucidin. Kris is well known as a celebrity mother who cares for her sons’ health and wellbeing. “I have two boys and when they get a cut or a wound, I clean it with soap and water for 15 seconds. Then, I apply Fucidin agad,” she says. “Fucidin is part of our wound care kit!”
