Suggest Treatment For Swollen Finger With Pus

I have a swollen finger with pus around my nail for past few days.
I took Augmentin 650mg for 5 days.
The pus has been out now but it pushed my nail to get it out from beneath.

Now my nail is coming out from beneath, it is still half fixed.
What should I do now?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.
This is a very common infection and the usual treatment is a good antibiotic and draining the puss out if present.

If i were your doctor i would Make sure that there is no more puss ,
then i would ask you take 1G of Augmentin further twice a day for three days

-brufen 200mf twice a dat if you dont have acidity or stomach issue

-get your finger banadaged and protect it from getting hit and protect the bandage from getting wet..

hopefully in tow three days you will be good to go .


Let me remind you again If there is pus still inside what ever med ou take it wont cure until
pus is drained out.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health
