First, the new Spanish government told the United States that it was willing to offer a change in the Reconcentration policies (the main set of policies that was feeding yellow journalism in the United States) if the Cuban rebels agreed to a cessation of hostilities.
Some were assigned to keep their stitched wounds dry and covered for at least 48 hours (the control group), and others were told to keep the dressing on to absorb immediate bleeding, then remove it and bathe as normal in the first 12 hours. None of the patients were on antibiotics.
5. Will the stitches fall out by themselves? Most of the time the doctor will put in resorbable stitches. They do resorb slowly in time but more often the stitches soften up and break one by one. Most of the time the doctor will put in more stitches than needed. The motion of the mouth (eating, talking) can loosen the stitches. If the stitches do fall out and thereâs no bleeding not to worry. It can take a few days up to 2-3 weeks for the stitches to fall out. 6. What kind of activities should I be doing/not doing? You should âlay lowâ for one to two weeks. Minimal activities with bed rest are recommended. You should drink lots of fluids during this time. Do not work out at the gym or play sports activities for at least 3 weeks.
