I suffered a severe hand injury from a firecracker explosion and received emergency treatment with Dilona, a tetanus shot, antibiotics, and a Soframycin dressing. However, the pain is still unbearable; what is the best medicated cream or pain-relief medicine I should use?
I am sorry you are in so much pain. Firecracker injuries cause deep tissue and nerve damage, which is why Dilona (an NSAID) might not be enough. Do not apply any unprescribed medicated creams to the wound, as this can increase infection risks and delay healing. Please contact your treating doctor immediately to prescribe stronger oral pain relief, such as paracetamol-opioid combinations or nerve pain medications, tailored to your injury. Seek emergency care if you experience spreading redness, foul-smelling discharge, fever, or if your fingers feel cold, numb, or turn pale.
