Deep Cut On Foot, Used Antiseptic And Plaster, Bruised, Sweating And Shivering At Night. Treatment?
i dropped some secateurs on my foot and suffered a deep clean cut which i treated with antiseptic spray and a plaster . A few days later the foot has bruised and the cut is slowly healing but i notice night sweats and shivering which i hope are unrelated and aching muscles.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern first thing you need to do is observe the wound properly for swelling and pus, if these are not there then no need to worry and if you find something like that then this must be treated with the antibiotic orally and the locally too and the best option is "Cap Amoxicillin 500mg three times in day for local application "Povidone cream " hope this information helps you have good day.
