i stepped on a tooth pick 2 weeks ago and went to E.R and there they cut my foot open ...only a small part and checked and found nothing was there but after a few days it hurt again and again i was cut open and nothing was found. This happened once more and yesterday the nurse told me the wound was dry and removed the dressing but later that night a bit of blood came out of the wound so i cleaned it and but some antibiotic cream ...some swelling is there .....what should i do?
