Question: I fell on the ice and hit my elbow on the sidewalk large cut, red, and now leaking clear fluid from it, it is just pouring out. is there anything we should do about it or for it.
Brief Answer:
You should consult a Doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, i've gone through your query in details,
If the Cut is large as described, it should be sutured.
You can send the picture of the injury so that I can clarify much better. You can simply upload/attach it at the reports section of this web-page.
If the cut is small, it should be cleaned with Hydrogen peroxide solution. Later on, antibiotic powder or Ointment has to be applied and pressure bandage should be covered.
As it is just clear fluid, no pus there, so no need to worry. It will be stopped after pressure bandage.
You need an Antibiotic and anti inflammatory tablet. So,please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Wish you good health.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
