How Can A Painful Finger Blister Due To A Splinter Be Treated?

My daughter (7 years old) got a splinter in her finger 3 days ago. I thought I got it all. but today she is screaming it hurts. Sin he has been soaking it water and that helps. The end of her finger looks like it is getting a big bister on it. Is there anything else that it could be? She is screaming in pain when it is taken out of the water.

Hi,

You should do an X-ray image to exclude fissure and fracture of the finger. If it is normal, she should consult an orthopedic doctor to put it in splint.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
