I accidentally cut my finger and had to go get help for it. They gave me a tetanus shot. It's been three days and my arm is still swollen, hot and red. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do about it?

I was washing my hands in the bathroom sink and my hand slipped and I cut my finger on my razor. I couldn't get the bleeding stopped and went to the local "Doc In A Box". The Dr. cauterized the wound to stop the bleeding. The cauterization hurt like the dickens and yesterday the place opened back up and bled a bit. I'm not going back to let them cauterize it again. No way!

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you!
