Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Finger
I got a splinter a few days ago (thought I got most of it out) but now the area at the top joint of my finger is slightly swollen, colored, and mildly painful. I m 12 weeks pregnant and worried about whether I should be seeing a doctor immediately or wait until my obgyn appointment in three days...This is my first pregnancy and I have a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills.
