Hi NO Chinese input around so ... kindly take this and let me know if you want further details.
Coral Cuts Treatment
Scrub with soap and water and then flush with fresh water as soon as possible after contact with the coral.
If the wound stings, rinse it with acetic acid (vinegar) or isopropyl alcohol (this action may reduce the effect of any irritating toxins such as those produced by fire coral).
Flush
the wound or abrasion with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 hydrogen
peroxide to remove coral dust and then flush with fresh water for most
non-stinging coral cuts or abrasions.
Rinse daily and apply an antibiotic such as bacitracin (Baci-IM) or similar topical ointment 3-4 times per day.
Oral antibiotics
are usually recommended to prevent infection. If an infection develops,
continue taking the antibiotic for at least five days after all signs
of the infection has resolved. Notify the doctor of any medication allergies
the patient has prior to starting an antibiotic. Some antibiotics (for
example, tetracyclines) can cause increased sensitivity to the sun
(photosensitivity), thus it is recommended to use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 if the area is going to be exposed to sunlight. If a wound develops pus, seek medical treatment.
If no evidence of infection or open wound is present, an over-the-counter steroid ointment may be used to relieve itching for a short period of time (a few days).
Pain may be relieved with one to two acetaminophen (Tylenol) every four hours and/or one to two ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
every 6-8 hours. Do not exceed 3 grams of acetaminophen over a 24 hour
time period. Some health care professionals prefer to use naproxen (Aleve) for pain relief.
Patients that are alcoholics have a tendency to develop bacterial infections by Vibrio spp
that can be very aggressive and dangerous (life-threatening) in a short
time-span. Any redness of skin that progresses rapidly with blisters
moving up an extremity (arms or legs) toward the body should be
considered a medical emergency, and will require IV antibiotics. Continue Reading
When to Seek Medical Care for Coral Cuts
Seek medical treatment in cases of severe cuts or infection, or if a wound is not healing or is not healing and becoming larger.
A
doctor should be consulted about treatment with available medications.
Occasionally, long-term infections may develop (for example, fish
handler"s disease).
Rapid progression of a red blister-producing infection, especially if a person is an alcoholic, is a medical emergency.
