How To Treat Toenail Injury In A Child?

My 5 year old s foot was caught on a door and the door ripped off his big toe nail. His nail is bent backwards but still attached on his toe. I put some neosporin spray on his toe and wrapped it with bandaid and ace wrap. Can i wait till tomorrow to bring him to the doctor?

Hi,

If the bleeding has stopped and the kid is not in severe pain I think you can wait until morning.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
