Daughter cut her hand and it has dirt in it--what should be done for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Clean the wound extensively! if the child can't tolerate the pain while cleaning, see her physician for further care. Some wounds require repair along with the cleaning process and both of these processes may require local anesthesia or even sedation.
