Some parents often like to cut the nails on both sides of their fingernails and toenails when they are nursing their baby. It is considered to be cleaner and more beautiful. The doctor suggested that it is easy for the child to suffer from paronychia and the pain is unbearable. The correct way is to keep the long nails properly and keep the hands and feet clean.
Ren Bufang, an orthopaedic surgeon at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, told reporters that the nails of nails and nails are closely connected with the skin to form a nail groove. When it is inflamed, there will be redness, swelling, pain and even suppuration. Poor trimming Nail and toenails are one of the important reasons for the onset of paronychia. If the parent trims or cuts the child’s nail corner too short, the nail groove tissue is squeezed toward the nail corner, and the nail corner will be embedded in the meat, resulting in “ingrown armor”, which in turn causes paronychia.
In addition to trimming the length of the nail corner, parents should also be careful not to let the young baby bite the nail and avoid tearing the nail. In addition, the child develops fast, the shoes to be worn by the child should be of appropriate size, and wearing too small shoes tends to increase the chance of the toes being squeezed. At the same time, pay attention to the nails and toenails of the child after crushing, kicking or being trampled by others. Educate the child not to pull the thorns by hand to prevent the foreign body from stabbing the nail ditch.
Doctors suggest that if you find that your child has paronychia, you must go to the hospital for treatment. If the abscess infection spreads, it can cause osteomyelitis of the phalanx. (刘翔霄)
