What topical anti-inflammatory medication can be used for a fifteen-month-old baby with paronychia?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello
Early on, you can try heat therapy and physiotherapy. Oral antibiotics, such as metronidazole, can also be used for treatment. If there is already pus, a longitudinal incision and drainage can be performed, placing a small piece of petroleum jelly gauze or a latex sheet for drainage. It will gradually improve. Wishing you good health
