Patient's question:
Yesterday I noticed that the right thumb of my child from the manufacturer was swollen on the outer side, with greenish edges around the nail. I thought it was just a bump from an injury and didn't pay much attention. Today I saw it was even more swollen and had developed pus. What could this be? How should it be treated? Urgent, urgent, urgent. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's right thumb is swollen on the outside, and the nail edge is green. It is preliminarily considered that there is a high possibility of an infectious skin abscess, which is related to the body's immunity. It is recommended that you apply Bactroban cream externally to the affected area, take Amoxicillin capsules orally for treatment, pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy foods, do not squeeze the affected area, and enhance the body's immunity. The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
