  1. OOH! sorry to hear that, you know, there is nothing you can do but to wait for the doc. You will only aggravate it more and it'll be more painful to even treat. You will or might require a tetanus shot and the doc will extract the splinter and give an antibiotic for the inflammation. Sorry, there is nothing you can do, but to leave it alone.

    Try some hydrogen peroxide to prevent any bacteria.


  2. If it's that bad, go to A&E (emergency room) It could get infected so use a plaster. Plasters are known for drawing out foreign objects, too

  3. go to your pharmacy, there are remedies you can buy to make a poultice to force the splinter out, it´s called Magnesium sulphate, it´s a paste and you put it on and then a sticking plaster over the top.  Leave overnight and it should have forced it to the surface.

  4. most of the time your body will naturally fight the splinter and force it toward the surface.  It may look like it gets infected, but it's the body's way of forcing it out.  Other than that, don't walk on it until you see the doctor.

  5. use a lighter heat up a very very sharp knife or razor blade...

    then slice just above the splinter all the way along it

    dig it out...yes it will hurt

    its pretty much what the doc will do only they will numb it first...if novacane doesn't work on you the liticane wont do much for numbing you either

    afterwards either way it will hurt for a couple days... thats just the way it is

    doing it your self save the fee for the doctor
