What should I do if I get a small bamboo stick in my finger?

If a small bamboo stick is accidentally inserted into the finger, it must be pulled out by some means. If the broken end of the stick is exposed on the surface of the skin, it is usually sufficient to disinfect the wound, remove it with tweezers or hemostats, and disinfect the wound. However, if the broken end of the stick is completely buried in the subcutaneous tissue, you must go to the hospital to have your finger incised under local anesthesia, find the broken end, remove the stick, and then suture the wound. After removing the stick, an injection of tetanus antitoxin is recommended to prevent tetanus bacillus infection. Depending on the degree of contamination, antibiotics can be used to prevent infection.
