When to Seek Medical Attention for a Wound
Even a minor wound can become infected if not cared for properly. It's important to seek medical attention if your wound:
- Is bleeding heavily and won't stop.
- Is deep, gaping, or punctured.
- Shows signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pus, or fever.
- Is painful, especially if the pain worsens over time.
- Is located near a joint or bone.
- Has foreign objects embedded in it.
