What should I do if children have nail ulcers?

Paronychia is when a fingernail or toenail becomes infected due to a minor injury, causing suppuration of the surrounding tissue. At the beginning, you will find that part of the nail is very painful, some are on one side of the nail, some are at the root of the nail, and there will be redness and swelling. But what should we do if a child has inungual inguinal inflammation? Let’s take a look with the editor below.

1. Add 1 gram each of green tea leaves, black sesame seeds and fine salt to a little saline solution and mash into a paste. After routine skin disinfection, apply the medicine to the paronychia. Change the medicine once a day and use it continuously for 2 to 4 times. Do not let the affected area get wet during the application of the medicine.

2. Take equal parts of Coptis chinensis and Rhubarb, pick them clean, dry them, grind them into powder and set aside. Before use, mix it with vinegar (if used for children, the vinegar can be diluted), apply it to the affected area, and change it after cleaning every day.

3. Remove the thorns from 50 grams of fresh cactus and mash it into a paste. Add 2 grams of salt and 6 to 8 drops of safflower oil. Mix well and put in a container for later use. Prepare on the same day. During treatment, apply an appropriate amount of the above ointment to the affected area and bandage it with gauze. Change the dressing once in the morning and evening every day. 4 days constitute a course of treatment.

4. Wash an appropriate amount of fresh verbena, mix it with a little salt and mash it, apply it to the affected area and bandage it. Change the dressing once a day. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved in 1 to 3 days and the disease will be cured in 5 days. Verbena can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling, relieve blood stasis and discharge pus, has inhibitory effects on many kinds of bacteria, and has rich medicinal sources.

5. Take black plums, wrap them with a wet towel, take out the flesh and remove the core after it is moistened, apply the inner surface of the black plum flesh to the affected area and fix it. Change the dressing once in the morning and evening. Most patients can recover within 1 to 3 days. If pus has formed, you can use anti-inflammatory drugs first, and then use the above method after the pus is drained.

If your child suffers from paronychia, you can consider using the above method to treat your child. Children's finger nail inflammation must not be treated with random medications. Children have weaker immunity, so their hands are more vulnerable. Also, it is best to go to a proper hospital for a check-up. Although paronychia is a minor illness, it cannot be treated blindly.
