What Is The Treatment For Swollen And Painful Wrist?
Hello! I was bit on my wrist by my client. Its just a wound from his two front teeth 5 days ago. It s swelled up, and then the swelling went down just a little but now the spot around it is bright red an growing. Plus the wound is starting to turn yellow an the scab looks likes beef jerky and became numb.
Dear Sir/Madam, I thank you for having faith in Health Care magic and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and I would like to inform you that Human bite is one of the worst bite injuries and the infection that results are very resistant to routine antibiotics, since its turning yellow it means that your wrist is now infected and you will not only need drainage of pus but will also need culture sensitivity and proper antibiotics for control of infection, do not take it lightly and consult your doctor urgently. I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact. Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only. Thanks Dr. Narender Saini
