Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

There is development of infected wound in your child's case.
There is a need for complete drainage of pus that may require removal of remaining half of nail.

Along with this there is a need for dressing with antiseptics like betadin or savlon.
There may be need for oral antibiotic like cefixim if there is fever or depending upon wound examination.

Use some pain killer with anti-inflammatory like Ibugesic syrup.

It will be better to consult your doctor for detailed examination.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
