Hi i accidentally feel over on slippery rocks by the beach and banged my knee really hard. It is the second day now and it is very swollen and it hurts to walk and bend the knee. I also stubbed my toe and bandaged it up but I fear that the cut is too deep. What should I do about my knee and my toe?
Welcome to Chat Doctor.common should go to the Hospital ER to receive treatment earlier... Let me explain what happen after the injury. When there is injury then blood rushes to the injured area and a long cascade of reactions taking place and as result the injured area become swollen. You can say that it's a body immune response to injury... As you mentioned that you have deep wounds also...there is a high risk of infection there.so I will advise you to first do the X-rays of knee joint and toe ... You need antibiotics oral or may be iv depending on your injury. So better rush to the hospital at the earliest... Hope you will be fine then... See you back in good health... Bye
