Wound Treatment
Since wound type injuries result in the breaking of the skin infection is always a concern. As soon as you experience the injury you need to compress the wound with a clean cloth to stop the bleeding. Once the bleed is controlled you can clean the wound with warm soapy water or an over-the-counter wound cleaner that contains antibacterial ingredients. Once the wound is clean pat it dry. You can then apply a commercial antibacterial ointment before applying a bandage. To ensure that your wound heals quickly and that infection does not develop you need to clean the area twice a day and apply antibacterial ointment until the skin closes.
If the wound is deeper than ¼ of an inch, is from human bite due to last resort of the game because of low battery or no more ammo, bleeds profusely, or if it has any foreign objects imbedded in it (such as BB’s) you need to seek the attention of a doctor for treatment or just call it a day! ;D
Bruise Treatment
While most bruises will go away naturally within two weeks of the injury there are few things that you can do to speed up treatment. For pain relief you can take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. For the best results follow the instructions for dosage that are listed on the label.
To help relieve pain and swelling you can apply a cold compress (a bag of frozen peas straight from the freezer works great if you first wrap it in a towel) for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Be sure to take a break form the compress for at least 20 minutes between treatments and only apply during the first 48 hours after the injury.
When the bruise is at least 48 hours old you can help the discoloration fade by applying a warm washcloth or compress to the area. This warm compress should only be left on the injury sight for about ten minutes at a time and the treatment can be repeated up to three times a day.
If the bruise is accompanied by extreme swelling, extreme pain, other symptoms not usually associated with bruising, or if the bruise appears without a logical cause you may need to seek medical attention. You will also want to see your doctor if the bruise lasts more than two weeks or just continue playing airsoft.. aaaaddiikkkkk
