What Could Cause Swellig In Wrist Under The Palm After Being Cut With Glass Followed By Proper Treatment?
Hi, yesterday I cut my right wrist on the riht side under my palm with glass. it bled a lot and in a few minuts it srarted clotting at the cut. iwent to the Dr today and they very lightly wiped it with salt water n put some strips on it so it holds together. they told mr to use my hand. now I notice swelling on my fingers and am wondering why.
Hello, Anytime there is trauma such as a laceration the body sends in clotting factors and other cells to help take care of the problem. This causes some inflammation. Prop your hand up above the level of your heart as much as possible. If it worsening or is severe, see your doctor. It should resolve in a few weeks. Regards
