Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 2 1/2 year old daughter had a bowel movement in the bathtub and was sitting in it for a few minutes afterward. She may have gotten some of the bath tub water in her mouth. This morning, she woke up and there was a large green and red blister on the side of her thumb. I burned a safety pin tip and punctured it. It sprayed pus and a lot of blood. It refilled right away with blood. I put neosporin on it and a bandaid. Its still puffy, but not as large and round. Its dark red, purplish, and black colored. I gave her some childrens acetaminophen, too. She has no fever and no swollen nymph nodes.
Your child has developed paronychia , nail infection due to minor trauma and bacterial entry in to it. Glad that you have let the pus out. Continue Paracetamol and Neosporin ointment. If there is fever and pain you may need antibiotics. keep the finger dry, away from water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rajmohan, Pediatrician
