Suggest Remedy For Soreness,redness And Swelling In Wound

I had a glass vase fall on my ankle. It was a large gash that required 8 stitches. It has been 2 weeks since the injury and I have had the stitches removed. My question is that I think there could be glass still in the wound. It feels very sore to the touch, red, and swollen. What should I do? And should I be concerned?

Hello
As you mentioned that a large gash fell on the ankle , after stitches removal , still there is redness, soreness, swelling and very pain due to touch .
All these symptoms m may be due to foreign body impacted in injured part( tenderness present ) .
May be due to inflammation still exist, because swelling redness pain are an indication of inflammation ( infection ) .
Get in MRI of injured part , consult a surgeon and get his opinion as physical examination will find out whether foreign body ( glass piece ) present or no.
Good luck.
