What to tell the clinic after a wound
The cause of a wound matters as much as its appearance.
Three practical points
- Explain when and how it happened, including any dirt, animal contact or object involved.
- Bring your vaccination record if available and list any conditions or medicines that affect your care.
- Ask whether wound cleaning, tetanus assessment or another treatment is needed and when to return.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
