Question
My baby’s finger was cut by an eyebrow razor, and it’s been five months now. The wound pinprick occasionally turns red and develops white spots, and sometimes pus comes out. Could this be an internal infection or an infection of the pinprick? After observing these conditions for several months at home, they have recurred, and I am very worried. Do I need to hospitalize my baby for treatment?
Answer
Based on the description you provided, your baby’s finger wound may have an infection or may not have fully healed. It is recommended that you give your baby symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and bring your baby to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. It’s not out of the question that there may be deep sutures that have not dissolved yet. It is suggested that you bring your baby back to the hospital for a professional doctor’s examination and treatment.
