    If a circumcision wound becomes suppurative, you must first keep the wound hygienic and follow the doctor's instructions for local application of medication and oral medication.

    1. Wound hygiene

    Local suppuration may be caused by improper care, so the wound must be kept clean and hygienic to avoid bacterial growth.

    2. Apply medicine

    Purulence may be caused by anaerobic bacteria infection. Follow the doctor's instructions and apply an appropriate amount of medicine to the local area, such as erythromycin eye ointment, chlortetracycline ointment, etc.

    3. Oral medications

    When the infection is more severe, oral medication, such as amoxicillin capsules, cephalosporin tablets, etc., should be combined with the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above improvement methods, you also need to pay attention to your diet, drink more warm water, eat fruits and vegetables, etc.
