Could The Wound On Foot Caused By Glass Piece Be A Matter Of Concern?
Today while walking through my house I got a piece of glass in my foot. It was on the top. I believe it might have hit a vein but I m not a100% sure either. It turned really red around the area. I put some medicine on it then it got ok. I guess I m asking to make sure that it isn t anything to worry about like a blood clot forming or anything ?

I can understand your problem
don't worry ,, any foreign body in tissues will cause reaction in form of inflammation.
normally in foot region on walking it you feel pain in that area of prick it indicates some glass piece left
anyway as there is no pain don't worry , it will subside
plz take antibiotic like cefixime 200mg for 3 days along with anti-inflammatory drug like aceclofenac with paracetamol 500mg for 3 days
have tetanus vaccination at you family doctor ,,ok
there wont any blood clot in that area shortly ok
