[|Human|] I had an injury that left a piece of glass in my hand.  It was left in there for 18 hours.  My questions is that if I would have had surgery as soon as the injury occurred, would it have lessend my chances of developing rsd opposed to the glass irritating the severed nerves for 18 hours?
[|AI|]  Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should take treatment as son as possible on the following ground.1) Prolonged open wound can increases chance of infection.2) It is naturally that damaged nerve if taken care at earliest has more chance of recovery. More the time will be less the chance of recovery. Please start the antibiotics like definite, painkiller like diclofenac and serratopeptidase at earliest. You can decide the strategy of treatment thereafter. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
