i recently got a gun shot wound on my leg, inner thigh to be exact. i went to a practitioner, he took out what was visible and gave me antibiotics. i think i might have pieces still inside is it bad for my health do i need to have an x-ray and have removed fully?
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query! As you told whatever was visible has been taken out, so I see no cause of worry. Particles of gun are usually inert and cause no harm to human body. But if you are having pressure symptoms like swelling, tingling and pain then you can get re-evaluated for further work-up. Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. Take care!
