Wash it, mash it to extract the juice, and drip 2-4 drops into the ear, 2-3 times a day. Generally, this will quickly help the patient recover.
<3. Diabetic foot>
First, clean the ulcer surface with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline, remove necrotic tissue and purulent secretions. Then take 30 grams of fresh Opuntia, peel off the spines, mash it into a paste, and apply it evenly to the affected area, wrapping it with gauze. Change the dressing 2-3 times a day for 5-7 consecutive days.
