the Dr here said I have a contushion along with an infection that resembles a terable pimple. he proscribed bactrum and that was 2 nights ago. sence then my condition has gotten worse. I can no longer move the end of my thumb (where the problem stemed from) and the pain has radiated into my index finger, palm and down my arm. I have no feaver or nausea. I have been takeing advil and the antibiotic. keeping it elevated and applying cold compresses. the area came to a head and I took a hyperalergenic tattoo needel and opened it to releave preshure. green and yellow puss excreated and then it was followed by blood. however it keeps filling and swelling. the pain is at an almost intolerable level and I ve already racked up a heafty co pay bill. what are some signes that I should be looking for twords a more serious condition? and am I doing everything I can at this point to make it better?
Hi, It seems that your infection spread all over your palm from thumb. It requires urgent attention, so consult surgeon and get examined as soon as possible. Once pus is formed, you have to go for incision and Chat Doctor. You might require iv antibiotics to control your infection. Ok and take care.
