My 3 year old son's foot?

Question:

ok yesterday my son hurt his foot on a pice of siding ( he likes to play outside barefooted) any way it's on the botom of his foot it was not bleeding but i cleaned it and put some cream on it to keep it from getting infected and we wraped it with a bandged but today he is not wanting to walk on it. an ideas?

Answers:
Just take a deep breath and know that he will heal quickly.You have done a fine job of patching him up.Of course he will not walk on it for about a week,it hurts!
Just keep up the good work,keep it changed and clean and for Gods sake--don't panic.
I have had more cuts and scrapes and near-broken bones that I like to think about.I was tiger at his age and so is he.
If things get worse,you will be the first to know.
That seems pretty unlikely though.

Take him to the Doc. If it was deep enough he could have injured something more than you thought, something could still be caught up in there or could be starting in on infection.

see a docter

Cutting the bottom of the foot is very painful, especially the day after the cut. I hope his tetanus shot is up to date. Don't force him to walk on the sore foot. If you can, let him lay down and elevate it.
