hi i managed to get a sharp piece of wood about a quarter inch into my wrist and its very sore. There is no discoloration and it is very mildly swollen (i think). Am I fine? I was in a chicken barn so there was chicken feces literally everywhere. Do I have an infection or is it supposed to be sore? It hurts a lot to make a fist
Hi and thank you so much for this query. From the information you have provided, the chances of having an infection are huge. If the wood is still in place, then for sure there are germs right there and this makes it a contaminated wound. Unless it is removed and washed thoroughly, the chances of an infection are huge. I will like that you get evaluated and managed appropriately for this. For now, you do not have an infection but the chances of having one are huge. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.  Feel free t ask for more information if needed. Thanks for using this panel for your questions.
