Answers:
Put gauze and a band-aid over it until tomorrow when you go to the doctor and get your shot!. You probably won't be able to play in the soccer game tomorrow because it will be real sore!. Sorry :/ hope it heals soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT NOW!.!.!.

When I was 18, I stepped on a thumbtack while cleaning the basement!. I thought, no big deal!.!.!. 2 days later, I had really trouble walking !. I also noticed my veins were swollen!.

I had a staph infection, very serious!. I went to the the family doctor!. He immediately cut the wound area to relieve pressure from the infection, I think he gave me a shot for tetanus and an antibiotic, and gave me a prescription for antibiotics as well!.

You should also thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water!. Warm water, make sure to get lots of bubbles!. The air hurts bacteria!. Your wound probably bled quite a bit, which (as long as it stopped) is a good thing as it might have kept bad stuff from staying in the wound!. Do this for 20 minutes +!. Many, many times!. Lots of soap, lots of water, as warm as you can stand!.

If you cannot go to the doctor right away, watch the wound!. Sure it'll hurt, but make sure it doesn't get red and swollen!. If you star to see puss, it's time to head to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pack the wound with salt!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
