Best Answer

Morphine was used to relieve severe pain, for example bullet wounds. Field dressings were widely used to dress the wounds and stop blood loss. Tweezers were used to remove bullets or shrapnel etc. that were still imbedded in the flesh. For trench foot, they treated it with dunking the feet in warm water for a few minutes and avoiding trenches or dugouts for a while, and tried to change their socks regularly. However, for injuries such as gas attacks, there was not much medical orderlies could do. Maggots were used to eat away on diseased body tissue and leeches were used to remove diseased blood. Amputations were also performed for severe wounds such as body parts caught in explosions.
