Yes kindly visit the ER so that the wound can be examined and be treated appropriately. You may require tetanus injection and an antihistamine injection to control the situation. If the wound is infected you will require antibiotics, antacid, antihistamine and a topical antiseptic.. Kindly was the wound thoroughly and visit the ER.
