Suggest Treatment For Toenail Injury In A Child

Hello, I am concerned about my infant daughter. She has recently learned to walk and is all over the place. The other day she was crawling in and out the door and cut her big toe. I cleaned it up and noticed yesterday; the day after, that it was inflamed and a little swollen, also, yellow puss was coming out of the wound. The wound is on the tip of her big toe and actually goes under the nail. Now, today I noticed that it has bumps all around her toe and its really inflamed and swollen. I am mainly concerned about the bumps. The bumps almost look like a bunch of ant bites!! She is into everything now days and I am concerned with her toe nail falling off, if the wound isn t taken care of. What should I do?

Hi,
It seems there is acute infection on toe nail producing swelling, bumps and pus.
She requires proper cleaning and dressing, preferably by the doctor.
Give her one course of antibiotic medicine syrup for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
