I stepped on a nail!!!Help?

Question

Well yesterday (Saturday) i stepped on a nail. It didn't go in very far. I put some hydrogen peroxide, some antibiotic ointment, and i also had my tetanus shot last year. But my foot still hurts really bad! When will it stop and what should i do about it?

Answer 1

yes it will hurt and be swollen. nails are dirrrrty..  

Answer 2

It is good that you are cleaning the wound and keeping it sterile.  Most importantly, you had a tetanus shot.  Keep doing what you are doing, keep you foot elevated, and keep watching the wound.  If you have any discharge or if it changes color see your doctor.
