I was in a car wreck on March 14. I have an open wound on my knee that is still draining. I wasn t given any instruction on how to care for it, the only thing they said was it could not be packed, cauterized or stitched. so I have been cleaning it with alcohol everyday and dressing it with this yellow antibiotic looking stuff in a foil package. I cut a square piece and put it over the wound, then I put a non stick pad on top of it and tape it down, and then a large non stick pad and then rolled gauze for securing dressing and absorption. I don t know if maybe they just didn t go into that because so many other things were wrong. I broke my sternum halfway down, I broke two vertebraes, two flanges, I have no idea what that is, two ribs, the bones around my left eye and my right jaw.to be really honest from what I have understood from reading I have actually caused it not to heal quickly enough because I was putting alcohol on it twice a day. today I started changing the dressing twice a day like I always do just without the alcohol. any suggestions? thank you so much for your help and I hope you have a blessed day.
