I've had an accident recently and now I've got these wounds on both of my hands. The one on my right hand is healing, but the other one is starting to look infected and has some pus. I'm already on some painkillers, but I'm really not sure what I should be eating to help reduce the pus and speed up the healing. Could you give me some advice on diet or anything else that might help?

-To help reduce the pus and support healing, focus on foods rich in vitamin C (like citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens), zinc (such as nuts, seeds, and legumes), and protein (found in lean meats, eggs, and beans). Drinking plenty of water and eating

My 18-month-old daughter has had an umbilical granuloma since birth. We tried the common salt treatment but it didn't work. Her belly button gets red sometimes, stays moist, and has mucus buildup. She scratches it a lot, making it worse. Doctors are suggesting surgery now, but I'm really worried are there any other treatment options we can try first?
While surgical excision is an option for umbilical granulomas, it's not always the first approach. Other treatments, like silver nitrate, can be effective, especially if applied by a healthcare professional. It's also important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area dry, and avoid harsh treatments like scrubbing.
