Depends on depth of the wound. If it is mild superficial cut then tbact is enough and can keep it open. If it is atleast above 1cm deep then clean wound with betadine solution or normal saline.wound should be closed with tbact application and with sterile guage piece. Unless there is fever or pus discharge don't start antibiotics. If pus or purulent discharge present then start tab taxim o 200 twice daily for 5 days. Tab dolo 650 sos. Tab limcee 500 twoce daily for 15 days.
