I recently had a rusty nail puncture my hand between my fingers quite deeply, very little blood when it happened but I could see down inside the puncture wound the bits inside. I went to the hospital where they washed my hand in iodine and glued me back together also had my first tetanus jab. now the swelling has mostly subsided I am experiencing shooting pains up along my fingers and a crunching sound in my jaw. the pain in my fingers is quite substantial. do I need an xray to see if any damage has been done
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion you should first take Tab Tramadol 100\u00a0mg to relieve you of your pain, then an X-Ray is a must to see if there is any phalanges fracture. Also I would recommend a short course of antibiotics to prevent any infection from the injury. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
