two days ago i go my thumb in a meat slicer at work....it cut a chunk off the side of my thumb and half my nail...it bled so bad an ambulance was called...they used silver nitrate to stop the bleeding (VERY PAINFUL) it worked for awhile...then that night it started bleeding again.....pretty heavy...actually spurting at times...went to e.r. got shot, cleaned it out...etc.....now the pain is so intence my meds are not helping...i know its going to hurt...but im worried about infection the most...especially from the slicer....anyone know about wound trauma like this and what to look for.....or when i should seek im on antibiotics...but that is not always going to stop infection..any advice is appreciated....
