Yes I'm really asking about a splinter...
Yesterday I got a splinter about 5mm very deep in my finger. I tried to take it out myself last night (needle boiled in water) & now I believe it's infected & the splinter is still in there. Finger is v sore puffy and a bit red & hot. Finger has swollen over cut I made so there's no way I can get it out.
I need to see someone don't I? Or will it work its way out by itself?
Curve ball - I'm on holiday overseas. Will head to tourist info tomorrow to ask where I can go see someone if necessary.
It's agony & making me a bit miserable FFS had to happen on holiday argggh.
Thanks for any advice!
