<s>[INST] Hi Doctor, my father is diabetic & left his insulin used syringe on bed. The used syringe were taken by my son, who is 20 months old now, and pricked in his hand. yes, syringe does not contain any insulin, however, it was used multiple time by my father. Now, I m too worried & don t know what should I do... Can you pleaseeeee suggest & guide me. [/INST] HelloThank You for contacting HCM.First of all, did you wash your son's hand with any antiseptic solution afterwards?? Secondly, is your father suffering from any disease like Hepatitis or any other prolonged illness? Whenever there is any such scenario then multiple things are checked. e.g for how long it was in contact. Was there bleeding afterwards. Is patient suffering from any prolonged disease & was that area washed with antiseptic solution.In most of the cases it is unlikely that such pick will cause any problem. Also it depends in above mentioned questions. If above mentioned questions are -ve then you need not to worry. He will be fine. Thank You </s>
