Suggest treatment for pain in foot due to piercing of rusted nail
Patient: Hi Doctor,A few days back a rusted nail pierced throgh my foot. I took one anti-tetanus injection immediately. Though there is no wound now, I feel terrible pain on that spot while walking. Does it mean there is infection inside? what medicine should I take now? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCMIts good that you took a dose of TT injection soon after the wound site.If your previous TT injection dose was 10 years back,you need to take 2 doses of injection.Also as you are having pain in the wound,you need to take a course of antibiotics and pain killers,as you are having infection.Hope you are happy with the answer,Thank you
