Question : I think I have a small shard of glass embedded in the bottom of my big toe. There is no sign of infection since it happened. Can I wait until tomorrow to go see my primary care doctor?

Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Yes you can wait till tomorrow. Hopefully no problem will occur other than pain or irritation. For pain you can take acetaminophen. Try to get it out first in the morning by visiting your doctor.
