What are the dietary taboos after burns?

Alcohol, foods that are known to cause allergies, and if the burn site is in the mouth, throat or esophagus, plus a type of food that is too hot, hard, and highly irritating. Most of the remaining so-called "taboos" have no clear scientific support, and many old-fashioned rules will slow down the speed of wound healing.

A while ago, my best friend scalded her forearm with boiling water. The second-degree burn resulted in big blisters. Her mother listened to her relatives and wouldn't even let her touch eggs and milk. She cooked white porridge with stir-fried cabbage for Dundun, saying that eating "hair products" would cause pus and leave scars. As a result, she had to have her replaced three times. Medicine doctors complain that the healing speed is half that of ordinary people. When asked about diet, they are immediately amused. They say that you are depriving the wound of food. After a burn, you need more high-quality protein to help grow new skin. If you drink white porridge every day, you will not be able to keep up with the nutrition, but it will be more likely to leave scars.

Speaking of this, someone must ask, so-and-so in my family last time had a red and swollen wound after eating seafood. Isn't this the cause of the disease? In fact, most of them are allergic to seafood, or they happen to buy stale ingredients and eat them. Their immunity is already weakened, which hinders the recovery of wounds. If you usually eat shrimps and crabs, it will be fine, but it will be better to eat some after you are burned. These high-quality proteins are much more nutritious than white porridge. Some people also say that eating chili peppers will affect healing. When I went to a community hospital to change dressings, I met a brother from Hunan who had a big burn on the back of his hand. He had to chop chili peppers for every meal. The doctor asked him if he felt any stinging pain from the wound after eating it. Of course, if you are prone to getting angry and getting acne when you eat spicy food, and your face becomes red and swollen when you eat spicy food, you should be patient during the recovery period to avoid aggravating the inflammatory reaction. Everyone's body is different, so there is no need to copy other people's experiences.

As for the saying that eating soy sauce will leave black marks, it is really a misunderstanding that has been spread for many years. Think about it, the melanin in soy sauce is catabolized and metabolized after being eaten in the intestines and stomach. It is impossible for it to escape to the surface of the skin and deposit. Many people have black marks left after being burned, or When the scab formed, I picked it off with my hand. Either I didn't use sun protection during the recovery period, and the ultraviolet rays caused the pigmentation. It really has nothing to do with the soy sauce. I burned my wrist last year and ate soy sauce noodles every day. I also paid attention to sun protection. Now there is no mark left at all.

You really don’t need to make your diet after burns like a spiritual practice. For small superficial burns, you just need to debridement to prevent infection. In your diet, be a little careful not to drink alcohol or touch things you are allergic to. Eat more high-protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement nutrients. On the contrary, you will heal faster. There is really no need to believe all the old rules about what you can’t eat and what you can’t eat that have been passed down for decades.
