My son in law bites his finger nails and now he had to go to the hospital after it got infected and swollen up and now in pain? The hospital doctor said that it is not a ingrown finger nail its just that he has bitten it down to low. So can someone please tell me how to fix the finger at home. He has been soaking it in warm salt and water and end doctor gave him antibiotics but he is in pain because the infection needs to come out. How do we do it? Can't he can-phonic on it?How do you care for your finger when you are a nail bitter and bit the nail down to far and now it is infected?
pain from infections settles as infection decreases.
infections don't decrease the instant antibiotics are given.
antibiotics take a couple of days to start to see effects in my experience.
salt water is a good natural antibactereal
otherwise keep it clean.
localised infections (eg paronychias) can sometimes be popped/drained with a needle but i'm sure the doc would have done that if appropriate (and it's not a remedy for home really)
