Should I Consult A Doctor As My Son Is Having A Cut On His Finger Which Is Swollen And Filled With Pus?
My three year old son has a sore/cut on his left little finger at the side of the knuckle. Is is very swollen and was full of pus which has now popped and is open. I have cleaned it and put on a plaster I was just wondering how serious it was, whether there is likely to be something in it that requires hospital or whether a trip to the GP would be sufficient.
