Medical Treatment of Severe Injuries
1. Copious irrigation ( 15-30 min ) • to restore normal pH
2. Topical steroids ( first 7-10 days ) • to reduce inflammation
3. Topical and systemic ascorbic acid • to enhance collagen production
4. Topical citric acid • to inhibit neutrophil activity
5. Topical and systemic tetracycline • to inhibit collagenase and neutrophil activity
• Nexagon
