How do I tell if this is infected?

Question

I was on my friend's farm, and a donkey spit on arm where I had a nasty cut. Now its oozing green pus, is inflamed, and hurts. Should I call a doctor?

Answer 1

yellow or green drainage, red area around the wound, pain, and or an odor

These are all possible signs of a infection.

you should see a Doctor, you run the risk of the infection getting worse or spreading if you do not.  In the mean time keep it clean and put an antibiotic ointment on it, Ibuprofen may help also.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Yeah, I think you should go to the doctor... It wouldn't be good to have some kind of disease which would be dangerous for your life...

EDIT: Wait! Are you serious or are you only joking?

Answer 3

you should call your doctor with any inflammation. It can't hurt to have it checked out because you don't want this to spread and have a major infection that will be harder to treat. take some motrin for the pain but please go have it looked at
