I fell and scraped my knee against cement yesterday.

Last night, i experienced severe chills, despite my warm room.

When I take the bandaid off, there is a yellowish liquid stained on the bandaid pad. The wounded knee feels hot to the touch, and it throbs. There are also faint red lines radiating from the wound.

What should i do?

I don't have health insurance right now, so I would prefer to not have to go to the doctor.
(I think I've had my tetanus shots)
