Hi again, My left middle finger is swollen. Should I dip it in hot Epsom salt water to reduce the swelling??
Question: Yesterday, the doctor punched holes my finger to drain the puss. He also gave me trimethoprim-sulfamethoxa... 2x a day. I was shouting at the top of my lungs in dire pain.I think my doctor is a sadist because he enjoyed seeing me in pain. The finger is getting swollen again. Should I dip my finger in Epson salt for a while to reduced the swelling or what?
Please help becuase I have the AIDS virus.
Answers: assuming your finger is infected coz of a nail problem or some where near the nail. follow these instructions:
wash your hands first.
then get some peroxide put a lot on a cotton ball. clean out the area really good
follow that up with a moiston cotten ball of rubbing alcohol
also rubbing alcohol keeps the finger cool as well if it's hot
then wrap the infected finger in clean gauze. gauze is good coz it will absorb puss.
depending on the leakage you should follow the steps above at least 2 times a day or more if gauze is soked.
the doc should have given you somthing for infection if your prone to this.
well good luck
