Treatment of abscess with folk remedies and methods
Abscess is the medical name of an abscess, or abscess. An abscess is a limited accumulation of pus in tissues and organs with the formation of a closed cavity. The size of the abscess can be from a small bladder to a huge accumulation of pus. Most often, the appearance of an abscess is facilitated by the penetration into the tissue of such microbes as staphylococci or streptococci. An abscess can also occur at the site of an intramuscular injection, then it is called an infiltrate.
Symptoms: redness, swelling, tenderness, or "pulling" pain in the place of pus accumulation.
What's going on? In the initial stage the tissues turn red and solidify. So far nothing dangerous has happened. At this stage, you see redness, a slight swelling and feel soreness.
Abscess on the neck or head of warming can not be used. In these cases, you need to consult your doctor as soon as possible.
If the treatment of the abscess was not initiated at the initial stage, then pus appears. Purulent abscess can be accompanied by fever and chills, headache is possible, as well as "pulling" pain in the place of abscess. Expanded abscess can cause an increase in the nearest to it lymph nodes.
What should I do? The abscess, which is in the initial stage, can be suspended, so that it dissolves. To do this, apply resorptive compresses or baths, if the abscess appeared on the finger of the hand or leg.
As soon as there is pus in the abscess, it is opened. Best of all, of course, if this simple operation is performed by a surgeon in your clinic.
