How Can A Wound On The Leg Be Treated?
My friend was in a car accident on May 9th, and her foot has been put in a splint. They told her they would remove it after 3 days, but can t get her an appointment till June 5th. She took the splint off today around 12:30 and notice a cut she had from the accident is now bigger and black around the cut. She said it s throbbing. What should she do?

Hi,
Looks like the wound is infected. She should go to a surgeon to clean the wound and cut the dead tissues. Also, she may need to use oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
