I stepped on a broken beer bottle in the lake 24 hours ago. It was a large very pointy piece that entered the ball of my foot. It feels very deep and is extremely painful still. I am not able to put any pressure on my foot not even to wrap it. It is red around the wond and white right at the wond opening. Do I need to go to the er so it doesnt get infected due to the lake water and since my primary doctor isnt open till monday?
Go to the ER to undergo a wound debridement if needed and wrapping. Antibiotics as amoxi-clav (if you are not allergic) or doxycycline, adding metronidazole covering (for clostridium derringers/retain) are mandatory. ER doctors will decide if giving to you them orally or through intravenous/intramuscular injection. If you didn't receive an antigenic vaccine, ask for antigenic immunoglobulins, that are fundamental.
