Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
You should have a free mind and catch some sleep.An antiseptic cleaning of scratch will help.You may see the Doctor in the morning for:
-A pain/anti-inflammatory drug like ibumol
-Anti-tetanic immunisation if not up-to-date
-Prophylactic antibiotics if your Doctor feels she runs the risk of infection
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
Dr Mbuomboh
