Suggest Remedy For Throbbing Pain In Finger Post An Injury
I cut my finger - at the top - about a week ago...it was starting to get better but in the last two days it s been throbbing and hurts pretty bad... I have been using peroxide, antibiotic cream and today I used an Epsom salt soak...still no relief...when should I go to the doctor?
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The throbbing pain in the area of injury can be because of the unhealed wound. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. If it is infected, you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). If the wound is not healed, it might require a suturing after debridement. Mean while you can take an analgesic like diclofenac(if you are not allergic) for the pain. I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
