I stupidly smacked my hand on a wall outside and a rusty nail made a small puncture in the palm of my left hand. It was bleeding a bit until I was able to get it cleaned w/ rubbing alcohol and put a bandaid on it. It s now 2 days later and my palm is sore in that spot. Should I go to the clinic?
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion if its only sore, then probably it's ok. you should watch for1 Throbbing pain at night2 Fever3 Any discharge from the wound or pus discharge.
