How do i tell if my foot is infected? my bf was hit by a car while on a bike. his foot was crushed. he had stiches, skin graph and has to go back?

Fever, pain: There's no surefire way to determine infection, or else they would be caught much more easily. The classic symptoms/signs are increased pain, redness/tenderness, drainage, or fever. In addition, if the wound is not healing appropriately, that could be a sign as well. Good luck!
