Question
Why might a baby’s left thumb be red and swollen, and what kind of illness could it be? This morning everything was fine, but when I came back from work in the afternoon, I found that the baby’s left thumb is completely red and swollen. There are no signs of being bitten by insects, nor any bumps or collisions. I’m very confused, what should I do?
Answer
From the symptoms, it appears to be caused by a fungal infection. It is recommended to pay attention to regional drying during the treatment process. The collaborator suggests taking Vitamin E. If the condition is not too severe, it’s best to maintain good hand hygiene and use a separate nail clipper to trim the baby’s nails too deeply. If the situation is severe, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. We should also pay more attention to rest every day and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods.
