What Should I Do I Got A Small Infection On My Right Hand ?
Question: 10 days ago, I got a small infection on my right hand in the folds of my middle fingernail and thumb nail, The middle finger has pretty much resolved but the thumb is still oozing blood and fluids a lot. I am currently on antibiotics for lung and sinus infection cefdinir 300mg twice a day but that has not helped the thumb, as well I have been applying Mupirocin topically and it's not getting better. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
Better don't take anything else
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query , see your picture here is my advice.
The finger seems normal in color and has a bit of blood coming out of it in the corner of thumb
You are currently on oral antibiotics so there is no need to take antibiotics.
Possibly it may need some more days to go away.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
