Infection: See the surgeon right away. The infection needs to be controlled to avoid it from spreading and to find out the cause.

Thanks for asking!: Consult your podiatrists. You can also look for a second opinion. Anesthesia is unlikely to have an effect on the risk of infection in hammertoe surgery.
