What is the recommended medical management for a four-year-old child with persistent, painful finger swelling (paronychia) that has not improved after one week of over-the-counter pain relievers?

Asked by Female, 4 · 11 hours ago

Since the swelling has lasted a week, it is best to have her pediatrician take a look. She may have a bacterial infection that requires targeted treatment. The doctor might recommend warm water soaks several times a day and could prescribe a topical antibiotic ointment or an oral antibiotic to clear it up. Please avoid trying to squeeze or pop the swelling at home, as this can spread the infection. A quick visit to her doctor will get her on the right track to healing comfortably.
