What should I do if my baby's left index finger is swollen and red?

Patient's question:

What's the reason for the redness on the baby's fingertip and palm? The palm often sweats, is it due to heat or other reasons? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

It should be paronychia. If it's not too severe, it's recommended to pay attention to hand hygiene and give the baby a pair of independent nail clippers. When cutting nails, don't cut too deep. It's still advisable to disinfect and pay close attention to prevent infection. Monitor for a while, and if the condition persists, it's best to seek medical treatment to determine whether surgery or medication is needed. Daily attention to the child's diet and overall health is essential. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
