The lack of feeling in his toes could mean that he also has nerve damage. The sickness that he is feeling could be from an infection or even blood poisoning. It is definitely time to see a doctor.

He needs to go the doctor or ER! Does he have a fever? Is the area around the cut swollen, red, and hot to the touch? If so, he could have a serious infection. This could lead to blood poisoning and the loss of a limb or worse! Please get the cut checked out, just to be on the safe side! He will probably need some antibiotics, and a tetanus shot if he has not had one recently! Please take care and I hope your friend feels better soon!!! Get them to a doctor and have them check it out! Good luck and God bless!

Tell him to call his doctor's office immediately. Problems that were not handled quickly could result in problems that are more dangerous and expensive.
Have him discuss his symptoms with a nurse at his doctor's office. They may be able to fit him in if it is as serious as it sounds.

Go to the Emergency Room immediately. If it's that bad, he needs to see a doctor or it could end up getting much MUCH worse.
