Question 3

I'm really worried about my toenail. It broke off when I accidentally hit it at home, and quite a bit of blood came out. I bandaged it with Dettol and cotton, but now there's pus forming and Betadyne isn't helping at all. I'm kinda freaking out because the pus just keeps coming. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day. In addition, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight shoes that may cause further irritation. If the infection does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription antibiotics.
