Suggest Medication For Wound On Knee After Having A Fall

Hi, I have recently fallen and scraped my knee. I'm 16 years old and about 125 pounds. I'm a girl. And I got out of the shower and this clear stuff is
spilling out of my wound. I wiped it with my finger and it felt like super glue when it dried. What is this?!?!?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that the sticky fluid that is draining out from the site of wound seems to be due to infection and it seems like pus..
I would suggest you to consult a General Physician and get evaluated and clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis..
In case if there is infection at the site of injury you can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..

You can be advised to clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply a combination of triple antibiotic and steroid ointment over it..
Keep the area dry and clean and do not touch the wound again and again to prevent spread of infection..
In case if you have got the wound by falling on floor or in contact with dust you should also get Tetanus Toxoid injection taken..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
