Doctr scraped childs foot to get tiny glass out. child didnt let him go deeper will new scab make it harder for glas to come out on its own? leave it?

Foreign body: If there is concern of glass particles remaining, then a proper debridement of the area really needs to prevent infection. Occasionally the child needs to be sedated in order to get a thorough cleaning of the area completed. Also remember to make sure that the child’s tetanus shots are up-to-date.
