How To Remove Glass Stuck In Foot?
Hello. Son has has glass stuck in the arch of his foot since December. Although it has come to the surface a bit more, it is not forcing itself out. Is it worth putting him under general anesthesia to get it removed? Should we leave it alone? It does not cause him any pain.

Hi,
Any foreign bodies in the body should be removed.
Consult your doctor.
Under local anesthesia this can be removed easily.
Ok and take care.
