Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, the only thing to fear in your case is infection.
keep it clean with dettol wash.
clean and dress with betadine solution.
take antibiotics and analgesics under the guidance of your doctor, and help your body heal itself.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
