Red And Puffy Hands With Cut In Hand Due To Being Knocked Out. Is This Serious?
Is it possible to upload a pic? I was assaulted last Sunday morn. Knocked out; concussion, a nice cut on my hand I believe it was broken bottle. There s no stitches but its red and puffy and it hurts not feeling very well.I m close to hospital but it is the hospital and not very good and I really wish you would like to wait if possible and I m just want somebody to look at it is that possible?

Dear patient,
This could be related to an early infection; you will likley need a Tetanus booster and be seen by a providere to determine if adjuvant antibiotics are needed depending on how the hand looks.
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
