Pain and Reddness around the wound area, swelling and feverish to the touch (or low grade fever of your body); any drainage. All will indicate infection. Get a tetnus shot and have it cleaned out by a medical professional.

Tender, red, oozing stuff, fever.

It will hurt around the wound instead of in it. The wound will become red at first. Then it will turn black and eventually green. It will stink like bad cheese if it is really bad by that time you are looking at an amputation

If the area around the wound gets red and hot. The area of redness will increase. As the infection progresses, pus (whitish, yellowish) may ooze from the wound. Another sign of a serious infection that would need immediate medical treatment would be red line(s) coming from the wound and going up the arm/leg/wherever the puncture wound is.
If it is not too infected at this point, apply hot compresses using the hottest water you can stand, with lots of salt dissolved in the water. When not applying the compresses, keep antibiotic ointment and a band-aid on the wound.
If it has reached the pus or red-line stage, you need to get to a doctor.
