help for a human bite

[Guest guest]

morning all,

you don't hear from me much but i love to read the digest from the

list. i don't have

much to contribute but take alot away from it. thanks for all the

helpful tips

and insights.

 

i do have a problem that maybe someone on the list can help me with.

my mother-in-law was bite on the hand by my 2yr old neice. cheyenne

didn't want to come in the house when grandma wanted. she had cheyenne

by the hand and was walking up the steps to the house when cheyenne bent

over and bit her hand. peggy said it was like a locked jaw, cheyenne

didn't

release. the skin was broke in 4 places where the teeth sunk in. peggy

is 65.

she has had ppt and her ammune system has been compromised because of it.

cheyenne is not a violent child but in her defence, it's only one way

for a child

her age to show defence.

 

the wound swelled up, naturally, and bruised. like most older people,

peggy's skin

is getting thin. i suppose that it was about the size of a half dollar

at the time. she treated

it was an antibotic cream. sunday, after cutting the grass, she

noticed that the brusing

had spread over the whole top of her hand and was almost black. she

went to er and was

told that she had a soft tissue infection that had spread. she was

given a very strong antibiotic

shot and some antibiotic pills and sent home. she was told if it was no

better by weds to come

back.

 

my question is, is there anything that i can make up, topically, to

help draw this infection out?

the bite, itself, is scabbed over. i do have a couple of comfrey plants

here, along with lots of lavander plants.

i also have a salve that i made up for the horses that contains comfrey,

lavander, rosemary, yarrow, lemon balm

and roses. this works very well to take the swelling down and tends to

heal faster. i also have several oils here.

helichrysum, lavander, lemon tea tree and such. any suggestions to

combinations would be appreciated.

thanks,

Firsdt of all, you should soak it in epsom salts and water. handful of salts to

enough water to cover, make it as warm as she will take it. Do this a coupel

times a day. My DH had a red streak almost to his knee once and never mentioned

it until he got scared. The epsom salts got rid of it.

What a sad story....

Remember, comfrey can lock in an infection and make it worst

It does wonderfully well to heal a wound where the infection has cleared.

This does take strong antibiotics IMHO.
