Quick advice? Splinter deep in toddler foot

Just that really. Don't have magnesium sulphate paste in and concerned it will get infected as quite deep in.

Any quick advice? It is bedtime and have just spotted!

Moisturiser mixed with sugar. Blob it on and cover with a plaster.

It'll be on the plaster in the morning.

Really? We have in Aveeno. Plus ordinary white sugar? Just a stiff paste?

Do you have a medicine syringe? Might be able to suck it out with that.

Interested in this thread?

Following to see if the sugar mix works...

Have you tried the Hoover? I know it sounds ridiculous but I did it on myself recently for a splinter I couldn't reach and it sucked the splinter right out! Also, it's good fun and doesn't hurt.

Whoever suggested the syringe 👍👍👍 came out with about 4-5 suctions. Quarter of an inch long!!

And she didn't cry. What a little ⭐
