Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Thanks for writing to us.
Your daughter seems to be having paronychia or nail infection.
She needs a course of oral antibiotic and antiinflammatory drug to control infection. She should also dip her hand in warm water and apply a topical antibiotic cream daily.
A trauma or possibly nail biting damaging the cuticle could have led to such infection.
You definitely need to consult a dermatologist nearby
Hope this helped.
Take care
Instructions:
1. Mustard Oil
Mustard oil is another great natural home remedy that can help kill away an infection, and it comes with the added bonus of moisturizing your fingers. Soak your fingers in the oil for at least fifteen minutes a day. If you want, you can add lemon oil as well. If your finger comes out yellow, don’t worry. That happens sometimes. It’ll go away on its own soon enough.
2. Lemon
Lemon makes for one of the best natural remedies and great cleaner. It can also help to brighten your nails. Apply lemon juice like you would with nail polish, but also add it around the nail.
When you do this, it gets rid of dead skin, cleans your nail, and moisturizes your skin. If you bite your nails is may sting if it gets into cuts. Do this every day until the infection goes away. Hopefully these tricks can help you avoid a nail infection if you haven’t gotten one, and cure the one you have before it gets bad enough to see a doctor.
