smashed a glass into my knuckle whilst washing up, it’s now quite swollen all around the finger and painful to move and so i’m a bit worried it’s infected. i rinsed it under water straight after it happening but i think i may have pulled a tiny shard out this morning that i missed (happened last night). is it possible this isn’t an infection? i can’t get a doctors appointment till monday.

I would put it in warm salt water and put antibiotic ointment on it

Are you sure all of the glass is out? It might be worth getting it checked out at an ER.

i think so, it only broke into three big pieces i’m not even sure what i pulled out yesterday morning was glass tbh. it was covered in blood but could have just been a small part of the hard scab. i’ve got more movement in it today and less pain but still quite swollen

I’d go to the ER to get it checked out, if you’re not 100% sure all the glass is out you you’re best to have a professional look at it.

thankyou everyone xx
