Is It Normal To Have Swelling In Fingers After Having A Cut 2 Days Ago?
Hi I cut my finger two days ago and now the finger feels swollen is this normal ? Also how can I ease the swelling ? In addition to this the opposite side of the finger to the cut feels rubbery and tight to touch is this normal? I can't afford to pay but I'm getting scared
Hi, From history it seems that you got bacterial infection on cut. There might be swelling on back due to cellulitis. go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3 days. Apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning. Ok and take care.
