Suggest Treatment For A Pus-filled Wound On The Toe After Injury
I stopped my toe at work and it hurt really bad at the moment but I just kept going and when I got home I decided to put a ice pack it on it and it just made the pain worse but the pain still hurts even a couple of days later so I decided to massage it and Polk around it and puss started to come out and clear liquid whats happening
You have infected the wound. So you need antibiotics to clear the infection first. Because without that wound will not heal. It also needs examination whether you need drainage of pus or not. So plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
