I cut my hand pretty bad today at 7PM, went to the ER, I was treated at about 9 PM (They cleaned it with sodium chloride and applied stitches, then neosporin, and a band aid).

If my wound were to be infected, how long would it be before symptoms show up? A day? A week?

When skin is punctured or broken, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause infections, which can lead to other health problems.

I think, it takes a week to show up symptoms.
