Infected finger

[thelittlestbird]

Helpppppp I can't get magnesium sulphate anywhere and this throbbing infected cut is so so sore! Any suggestions?

Boil some water and add loads of salt and then as soon as it cools enough to bare the temperature, stick your finger in.

Minor injuries? That needs antibiotics. You could try the old fashioned poultice to draw it out using Epsom salts if you've got any? Or a warm cloth to help. A salt water bathe might help too.

Have you hurt it? Or is it a whitlow finger? I have the latter, it swells up every 6 months or so

I had something like that. I just sent a photo to my dr and was prescribed antibiotics. Quick and easy

I tried salt water etc but it needed the big guns

Cba to start my own thread. Side of my nail has been red swollen and sore for a couple of weeks. Gave it a good hard prod and pull away from the nail today and got a veritable beauty of a splurge.
Enjoy.
