Can any one help me with advice on my body rejecting a foreign object???

Question: A couple of months ago i stepped on a toothpick. There was still a small sliver of it in my foot and now my body is pushing it out. what do i need to do and what should I expect???

Answers:
You need to get that last sliver out of your body as soon as possible. The way it sounds, you already have an infection. Eventually, the wound will start suppurating with pus and you will get an even bigger infection. In the worst case, the infection can spread all over your foot and even up the leg. Even if it hurts, you should see that the piece gets taken out as soon as possible. It sounds as if the piece only got stuck in the layers of dead skin, so that is the reason it hasn't been bothering you too much. But seriously, get it removed.

As long as it doesn't get red, feel hot, or fester up, it will naturally come out eventually..
