Swollen wrist can't fold fingers in pain
My husband had a cut on his thumb and he was glue stitched at the A&E and that his thumb was swollen so they provided him with antibiotics after finishing the dose he noticed a swollen in his wrist and he couldn't fold his thumb and his last 2 fingers properly as it was painful. We went to see the doctor again and he said it looks like the infection is still there so prescribed another dose of anriobic and anti inflammatory. He is still in pain please advice
