Ive accidentally stabbed myself in the chest with a craft knife, what do i do? The wound is clean and not bleeding much. The size is approx 1cm length by 2/3 mm deep. my breathing is ok but Ive got a kind of indigestion feeling and a slight feeling of pressure. Im just a little concerned in case im bleeding internally. Ive patched it up and its been about an hour ago now. Am i ok to go to sleep
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. You are absolutely fine. The wound seems to be deep. It heals on its own but takes a lot of time. Also, you should take care that it should not be infected. The wound should be cleaned with antiseptic solution like salon if the knife was soiled.i advice you to take appointment with doctor. With 3-4 sutures and local tobramycin like ointment, the chances of getting infection can be avoided. All the organs are fine. Nothing to worry. Take care.
