Hello and welcome...
After the injury this is a normal phenomenon.. Swelling ,pain,redness and hotness.
But there is cut there..if your husband us not vaccinated for tetanus then better to go to ER and have tetanus toxoid injection I/M.
And also start tab augmentin 625,mg twice a day for a weekand for pain..use ibuprofen three times a day.
He will recover in a week
Hope this is the answer
OK bye
