Suggest Medication For Pain And Swelling In Thumb
I cut my thumb last week, Sat. The nail is half cut off along with the skin on the tip of my thumb. I was given antibiotic shots in my thumb last week. I have seen a doctor again today and was given Tylenol with codeine but my thumb won t stop thrombin and pussing. What can I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection after injury producing pain and pus formation.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Clean local part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
