Question
I noticed yesterday that my child’s right thumb outside has swelled, with the nail edge turning green. I thought it might be a bruise and paid attention to it. Today, it looks even more swollen and is getting worse. What disease could it be, and how should it be treated? Urgent! Thank you!
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s right thumb outside has swelled, with the nail edge turning green. It is initially considered likely to be a skin abscess infection, related to the body’s immune response. It is recommended that you apply Baiduyang ointment to the affected area and take amoxicillin capsules orally for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy food, do not squeeze the affected area, and it is important to strengthen the body’s immune system. These are suggestions for this issue, hoping they will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
