Swollen hand after puncture wound.

2017-05-31 19:28:45
I punctured the palm of my left hand with a screwdriver yesterday at work, now most part of the back of my hand is very swollen and there is alot of pressure and a bit of pain when I use the hand. I have been washing the wound and surrounding area with chlorhexidindigluconat solution and at the same time I change the bandage. I work as a mechanic.
