This is just hilarious. Let me educate you.

I think you meant to say "don't make things worse". The proper and accepted idiomatic expression (never a cliche)there is "don't add insult to injury". The wires got screwed up somehow.

When you say "don't add salt to injury"- that's a big whoah. Adding salt to an injury, like a laceration for example, will make things better. Salt is usually used to kill or hamper the growth of microorganisms and germs. So you're saying, "don't make things better"?
