so this gentleman came to us what was that about a week and a half ago and at
that time had a little red spot over the white space of his right first and
second digits just a little red he thought he may have had a splinter in
there or something we felt it it felt a little firm and there may have been a
splinter in there but what happened really puffed up or gotten big and so we
decided to just leave it and see where it went and now it comes back today a
couple of weeks later it looks like this which is nice and big and ready to be
opened and when we do this we're not going expecting to get anything out we
just want to make sure that if there's an infection we relieve that pressure
and drain it if we do get out anything that's an added bonus so we'll see
I know there's some numbness because I could feel it already when she was going
to swallow right in the middle right for your food that burn it all keeps spread
out here perfect yeah just like that
see what comes out here
can I get a Reginald
yeah a little bit that's they're mostly just clear
doing okay mm-hmm and that's a lot of pressure when we do this we're not
expecting to get anything out we just want to make sure that if there's an
infection we will relieve that pressure and drain it if we do get out anything
that's an added bonus if we do get out
yeah you know that greediness at the end of my utensil but again like it'd be
nothing that you say this was probably would so an x-ray would not help us that
would not show what one x-ray
dunno right there mm-hmm
second opened up the area
yes ought to see oh we did get out that pocket collection of foods
I'm just trying to there's anything in there freeing up if this
so I'm not gonna pack this and just kind of leave it open and then we'll drain if
I have a little bit of drainage with it and if there's something freed up in
there it may come out what you can do is do warm compresses on it
just kind of increase the blood flow to the area and allow it to drain and has
that drains it will swell and will go down it may be plugging trainers there
may be a little pus in there too but it looks good we don't need any antibiotics
what you want to do is keep an eye on the area if there's redness that's ready
and that's when you'll want to use call it some antibiotics but for now what
they're that dark spot was there's nothing obvious right there oh no what
right over that area all righty okay
so I won't accomplish it so I'm going to squeeze a little bit more here
