What drink after finger laceration to avoid blood thinning?

If you cut your finger and it bleeds a little bit, the best thing to do is drink small sips of water. Don’t worry too much—this will not greatly thin your blood. It will keep you hydrated and aid in recovery for the body. If you start feeling faint or dizzy, take a seat for some time while elevating your legs so that blood can return flowing towards the brain.

Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages.

I have mouth ulcers in my mouth and tongue, pain in the neck and right ear. Is it cancer? Which doctor, should I consult first?

It is not necessary that all mouth ulcers lead to cancer. They have multiple causes like a viral infection or stress. I am sure that it is not cancer. But to be on the safe side, it is best that you consult a doctor. To start with, you should contact your family physician who will guide you about your condition. Further, he may refer you to an Oncologist, if he feels you have cancer. Mouth cancers are usually treated by a Surgical Oncologist or a Maxillofacial surgeon having experience in head and neck cancer treatment. If you're looking for which doctor to consult for tongue can also find physicians on our page - General Physicians in India.
