Suggest Treatment For Injury To The Foot Caused By A Nail
I have a friend out of state who stepped on a board with nails in it and he stepped on a nail and it went thru his flip flops. He went to urgent care and they gave him a tetanus shot. Is there anything else that he should do to help recovery? Should he soak his foot or keep it dry, elevate it or not? Thanks, Kathy
