5 year kid has wound in the left foot
5 year kid has cut wound in left foot finger towards sole. This wound is not due to cut or anything..but it is there from last few weeks and not getting healed. Need advice please.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Children tend to have minor cut while playing which sometimes they dont remember.
The wound is not healing since a week so it may be a underlying infection.
Treatment involves dressing of wound with short course of antibiotics.
Please visit a General Surgeon for further evaluation and management.
In case of further queries, please feel free to write back to me.
Regards
Dr Prashik Meshram
