How did the ancients deal with arrow wounds?

At that time, in the era of cold weapons, people knew nothing about the external infection of trauma, so people were injured at that time by simply applying some simple anti-inflammatory drugs on the outer layer of skin, but these drugs only played a temporary role. When a soldier is stabbed by a sword, it is only a simple external treatment, but the body part where the arrow enters is hardly treated. Some simple Chinese herbal medicines are used to mash the liquid in their own medicine and inject it into the body for treatment.

Another way is to burn the injured part with the soldering iron at that time. This method is often used in the army because it can treat wounds quickly. At that time, no one was aware of the existence of bacteria, but this treatment method was the most likely to cause wound infection in the later stage, so that most soldiers died of wound bacterial infection in the end, and they could only rely on debridement and burn wounds to fight infection, which was effective for tetanus.

In ancient Chinese medicine, there was a definition of "tetanus", which was thought to be caused by wind-cold wound. Generally, drugs are treated according to fear of the wind (Chinese medicine does not understand, but speaks by impression). As for the curative effect, God knows. It is said that tarquin would impregnate the arrow cluster with horse manure to enhance its lethality, but in fact, he also accidentally used tetanus bacillus.

Those who are slightly injured will have some herbs to stop bleeding and bandage, just a simple bandage. At that time, I should have known about the virus, so there was a popular saying that there were medicines for injuries. Literally, it must be aimed at knife wounds. This kind of knife wound medicine must include drugs to stop bleeding and heal wounds. But at the medical level at that time, even with this virus, the treatment effect would not be so effective, so I personally think it is better to leave it to fate.
