How Can Swelling And Tenderness On The Fingers Be Treated?

I just have a silly question, the side of my finger is all swollen , very tender to touch, hot. . I had my nails done yesterday and I believe it is infected. What should I do. I have put peroxide on it, but it is not an open wound so it did not do anything.

Hi.
It could be just an inflammatory reaction. which is gonna be infected.
Kindly do hot fomentation two to three times a day.
And very painful. You can take a pain killer r analgesic for pain.
If pus is formed by any chance it needs to be drained by the doctor.
hopefully with this simple house hold treatment it must settle down.
Thank you
