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.

I was running up a flight of concrete stairs and I tripped and fell face forward into the edge of the stair. Pretty ruthless experience! I ended up in the emergency room with stitches and I had to get surgery to fix my shattered nasal bone that was broken in 3 pieces. till this day I feel heavy and numb when I touch my nose and lift my eyebrows. I've been feeling dizzy at least a couple of times a week. does anyone know if a heavy break to my nose could cause dizzy spells? any input would be really appreciated.
