Infection question

[testodave]

How long does it take for an infection to set in after a bad pin? And what ate usually the first signs and when of an infection. Also I have amoxicillin on hand will that help with an infection?

Is the spot red and hot to the touch? Do you have a fever and is the lump hard or soft?

Hot red hard lump.itchy and sore about a day after inj. Amox might help. Id start with that then get some fish flox. Works great good luck

I'd start w/ a good penicillin or Keflex. If that things starts to fever, go to ER immediately. My wife has seen some shit with these infections. Just a heads up

Well I just pinned like 2 and a half hours ago I was just asking so I know what to look out for. I dropped the syringe in the sink the tip where the pin twists on was facing down I picked it up and wiped with alcohol before I twisted a new pin on there. Right now I'm fine not sore,red,hot, and no pip. I guess I'm just being nervous. The pin went fine except I had a lift blood when I pulled out I guess I just knocked a vein pulling out because I aspirated and their was no blood.

Youll probably be ok but in the future just count something like that as a loss. Its not worth the risk of introducing some nasty strain of bacteria into your system.
