I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint as your husband has fallen over an electric toothbrush that has gone inside the knee leading to formation of a wound. It can lead to mild infection in the area but the infection will not be so severe that you need to be too much worried about. You need to simply start cleaning the area with an antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment over it to avoid infection. Keep the wound clean and Chat Doctor. . In case if the condition worsen or there is pus formation or pain, consult a General Physician and get evaluated, and he can advise you oral antibiotics. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. </s>
