What is the best medicine for suppuration of nail inflammation

Since nails are a relatively hard part and the flesh around them is very tender, a series of nail problems are likely to occur if the nails are not trimmed regularly. Therefore, trimming nails is not only for the beauty of the nails, but also for the health of the nails. However, some patients who do not trim their nails regularly have symptoms of nail suppuration. So what medicine should be used for nail suppuration?

Inflammation and suppuration of the nails may be caused by local infection or paronychia, and the pus needs to be drained to eliminate the inflammation. The treatment method is to apply iodine or other disinfectants in time after draining the pus, clean the wound, and then apply anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as mupirocin ointment, ichthyol ointment, etc. At the same time, pay attention to avoid contact of the wound with water. Keep your hands clean and do not cut your nails too deeply.

According to your description, your fingernails are festering and ulcerating. This condition requires treatment with antibiotics. You can go to the hospital to have the nail removed and the wound thoroughly cleaned. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide and iodine every day. With regular treatment, you will recover quickly.

In the early stage of purulent dactylitis, there is only pain at the fingertips and the pain is mild, without obvious swelling. Hot water soaking, hot compress, physical therapy, raising the affected limb, external application of Chinese medicine and application of antibiotics can be used. The inflammation can subside in about half of the patients. If there is severe pain in the fingertips, obvious swelling, and increased tension on palpation of the finger pulp, incision and drainage should be performed to relieve the high pressure in the finger pulp cavity, relieve pain, and prevent bone destruction and osteomyelitis. The surgery can be performed with block anesthesia of the nerve at the root of the finger. A longitudinal incision is made on the lateral side of the affected finger, with the proximal end at least 0.5 ft from the distal transverse line of the finger to avoid damaging the tendon sheath and causing the infection to spread proximally. The incision should be deep, and the fibrous septum at the fingertip should be cut off to facilitate drainage. Damage to the digital nerves and blood vessels should be avoided during the operation. Eliminate pus and place rubber strip for drainage. Postoperative anti-infection treatment.
