Do I need to get an anti-inflammatory injection if my foot is pierced by a nail?

In life, we often encounter some accidents, and some accidents may even threaten our lives. I believe many people have experienced being pierced by a nail in the foot. After this happens, the patient must first clean out the rust in the wound. The most commonly used method is to drain blood through the wound, and then perform anti-inflammatory and disinfection. So, do you need to get an anti-inflammatory injection if you are pierced by a nail in the foot?

First, do you need to get an anti-inflammatory injection if your foot is pricked by a nail? After your foot is pricked by a nail, there is a dangerous disease hidden in this seemingly ordinary thing. Moreover, once this danger occurs, the mortality rate is close to 30%-50%. This number is very scary in an era when medical care is so advanced, and it is even higher than the mortality rate of some cancers. The disease is: tetanus.

Second, the prodromal symptoms of tetanus are general fatigue, dizziness, headache, chewing weakness, local muscle tightness, pulling pain, etc. The typical symptoms are paroxysmal severe spasms on the basis of tonic muscle contraction (muscle rigidity and stiffness), that is, clenching the teeth, stretching the head, etc. The patient usually dies from spasms of respiratory muscles or heart failure.

Do you need to get an anti-inflammatory injection if your foot is pierced by a nail? You must get an anti-inflammatory injection when necessary. When a nail pierces the foot, it will cause a closed wound on the foot. Since the nail pierces the foot, it must have come into contact with the soil on the ground, and there are a large number of tetanus clostridium in the soil. Therefore, a nail piercing the foot is not a trivial matter. If our feet are accidentally pricked by a nail, we can deal with it ourselves first. If it bleeds, we must pay attention to the correct treatment method. Generally, when this happens, we first disinfect the wound. We can use non-toxic alcohol or saline, and then apply common anti-inflammatory drugs. Doctors at Tuozhen recommend not to bandage the wound, especially in the hot summer, otherwise the wound may become inflamed. During the injury period, do not let your feet touch water and do not use too much force. Just wipe the area around the wound with a wet cloth. Also pay attention to the time to change the dressing so that it will heal faster. If your foot is pierced by a nail and you cannot fix it yourself or the solution is ineffective, you have to go to the hospital to see a doctor to bandage the wound.
