If the exposed part of the wood Thorn is very short, when the tweezers cannot be clamped, the sterile needle can be used to open the outer skin of the wound, expand the wound properly, so that the wood Thorn is exposed as much as possible, then use tweezers to hold the wood thorn and gently pull out the outside, disinfect the wound again, and then wrap it with a clean gauze. In order to prevent inflammation of the wound, it is best to take 2 xinnuoming tablets twice a day, 3-5 days.
