Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain if there are some foreign particles still present in the wound they need to be removed as they can cause recurring infection and delay healing of the wound..
You should consult a general surgeon and get evaluated and if required he can remove the roots if required..
As of now you can apply antibiotic ointment over the wound and also clean it with antiseptic solution..
Take a short course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers..
You should also get a tetanus toxoid injection taken..
Avoid exposing the wound to water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
