deep splinter in hand

Have a deep splinter in my hand, went to the Dr. and he did in office surgery and was unable to get it out/find it.  The splinter has been in for 3 days now what should I do?

The physician didn't give you any instructions?  Surprising.  

Keep the area clean and monitor the site for infection (swelling, redness, pus, extreme pain).  If it should get infected, see a physician asap.  

It should probably work its way up enough to get it out eventually.
