Injured hand. what antibiotics/cream should i use?

to start off i will explain how my hand got injured:


it might sound weird to some but, I was stringing a large homemade crossbow type weapon i use for fun on my farm. i have been usin this thing to launch all kinds of projectiles for years(dont worry i have 30 acres.. dont lecture me on safety) well i guess it was time to change the large gauge steel cable i use because while it was under tension it snapped. the cable then whipped my hand, severing it almost entirely through bone and tissue about midway up. the fingers+ rest of the hand was held on just by some skin. so i went into the house and wraped it and a towel. luckily it clotted due to a well placed turniquit *sp?* as i stated before i live on a rural farm and it is a hassle to get to a hospital. once it was thouroly cleaned out I


had a friend stich the hand back together since he stiches leather boots for a living. the cut started to fester an looks like it has fly larvae in it-its humid so theres alot of flysInjured hand. what antibiotics/cream should i use?
You should go to a hospital. What your friend stitched you up with could cause an infection. For a cream use polysporin, doctors recommend it. You may need x-rays too...is anything broken. You don't want to lose a hand because you were afraid to go to the hospital. good luck.Injured hand. what antibiotics/cream should i use?
This is no job for neosporin or any isopropyl alcohol. If the cable has cut your bones and muscles, your best bet is to have a doctor realigne your bones so it grows back in the right spot. Good luck!
