Swelling And Redness In Feet After Stepping On Rusty Nail. Any Suggestions?
Hello, my boyfriend recently stepped on a rusty nail and he is now in quite alot of pain so much that it even has me concerened and his foot is very much swollen and red. He doesn't like the doctors or hospitals is there any way to relieve the pain and prevent infection just from stuff already located in a bathroom or first aid kit that i can give him and any suggestions on how to wrap it up or cover it? Thank you very much for your time and expertise!!!
Hi, It seems that he is having acute infection on toe with soft tissue swelling. He requires one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. If infection spreads in the foot, he will have lots of problems and suffering and at that time he has to go to doctor. So consult your doctor and get examined. Meanwhile clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream. Ok and take care.
