The edge of the toenail is red, swollen and painful

I believe everyone has similar experiences. After we bought shoes in the mall. The shoes felt quite suitable at the time. But when we bought it home and put it on, it felt okay. But it’s a long way to go. This will cause foot grinding. It will cause our toes to become red and swollen; there is another situation. Generally, children are lively and active and like to run and jump. Sometimes we play football in groups of three or five. Because they are professional athletes, their shoes are specially made. The front of the shoe is thicker to protect the toes. But children's shoes are not. Sometimes you may hurt your toes by exerting too much force. Causes redness and swelling at the edges of toenails. It is also possible that we are suffering from paronychia. What should we do? According to these situations, there are several ways to refer to:

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. Comparison of the treatment methods for paronychia: iodine tincture and smearing. As long as the toes are slightly injured or damaged, iodine should be applied or soaked in the affected toes, 4 to 6 times a day, each time for 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin turns white. The disinfecting effect of iodine will corrode the diseased skin tissue and allow it to regrow to prevent paronychia. Chinese herbal compress is a kind of conservative treatment method. Its function is to reduce swelling, relieve pain and detoxify. It is suitable for patients with early paronychia. Most hospitals apply ichthyol ointment or Sanhuang powder to the affected area.
