I work for a foot specialist.  If a doctor removed your nail then you should have been given oral or written instructions(we give written ones) on when to unwwrap the bandage and remove it.  Also what to put on it (Usually some type of antibiotic ointment, or prescription drops or neosporin-depends on your health criteria as to what to use) and after a certain period of time, you should also be soaking it once or twice a day in warm epsom salt water.  Call the Dr. that removed your nails ASAP!!!!!  You should also be going back for a re-check in 10-14 days or so as well.

Put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it is not better after two days, I would go get it checked. I wouldn`t worry about having the baby`s nail removed just yet. My daughter got one. and it was bad. It cleared up. You might have to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic to give her.

Ice it, keep off of it, keep it elevated, take some NSAID's.  (Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)   If it gets worse, Definitely take it to a Doctor.  Take it to One now If you can't move your toes or foot, or if it hurts too much to put wieght on, or if it looks or feels bad enough to raise serious concern.  But if all it is is a Little swelling, don't worry about It To Much.  \n\nFeel Better\n\nUncle Mike

soak your fett n get a pair of those tiny scissors n cut right up the side of the nail or rip it out it will feel better.To numb it just put ice for 20 min.

Crystal is correct!! Cold showers do soothe, however work into it a bit! Start out with a normal shower and slowly cool the water down! I'm a nurse but my answer is more because I was hit by a car while walking and had the worst road rash imaginable! when it started healing I thought if I could just peel the skin off and remove it to the bone I would be the happiest person in the world! But, alas, this is not possible, so my Doc. suggested the shower method! It works and after a few days I could actually go to bed without scratching my legs to a bloody pulp! \nKeep your nails short and after your shower if you still want to scratch use a cloth and rub gently. During the night you may be scratching sub-consciously and your back to square one. If your nails are short your less likely to cause bleeding and then infection! neosporin is the best cream to use so I would get a tube of it, especially the one that has a pain reliever in it!\n\nGood luck!

Now, I read your Query, and I am going to advise you to get this situation checked. Because it's not normal (and you must be aware of that!) there may be an underlying health situation that needs your attention...how's your confront? It may be a simple thing that requires a handling, and then all will be well...as to vits to bring back the appitite, I've never really heard of such..Good luck and do what ya gotta do on this...

You can have fun anytime. The best thing for you to do is too listen to your doctor. You should stay off your foot and get some rest. Your friends should be saying the same thing. If they are ture friends they well undrestand! Your health comes first. Maybe your friend will be nice enough to skip the party and chill with you. I know my friend would. Even if not, please don't do anymonre damage to your foot. It will take longer to heal.

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, so without trying to offend you, are you bathing?\n\nPerhaps you should see your doctor.

Nothing will happen to your feet, other than getting clean. Always make sure to dry them completely, especially between the toes, to prevent fungus and odor.

I have to ask this-Are you blonde? I think the only way to get them off is to cut through the scissor handles. It could be a very delicate procedure to prevent injury to your toes. Have you tried putting lotion on the toes and making them slippery. Sorry I keep picturing your feet connected by those scissors and hoping you don't have to walk to the bathroom any time soon. I think you should call someone for help even if it will be totally embarassing to do so.

Ah, it's because you are procrastinating!  I always found cleaning my toe nails to be absolutely essential when I had algebra homework to do...\n\nJust hunker down and do it...get off the computer!

Rubbing Alcohol!  Get the kind that's 'anhydrus' (means without water) use a Qtip 4 times a day for a couple days. Then 2 times a day for at least a week. Dont take em out. It hurts, but it's the only way. I had to keep it up for almost a month on one ear. Use ibuprofen, not painkillers. Also, I guess that you can buy Amocycilin, mild antibiotic, at health food stores now, but only if it stays bad. Alcohol kills infection, that's why it hurts. Less pain = Less infection. It hurts so bad to repierce!

i am so sorry! i can't believe they left you there with no phone!!! that can't actually be legal... actually if no one is watching you, i know it's illegal, and i know kids that were taken away for that up to age 15. but anyways. i am so sorry, i an i would help you if i could!\n\nthis is what i suggest: if you can't get to the store and get yeast infection or vaginal cream then there are things you can do at home. plus, you probably don't have any money.\n\nsit in the bathtub, preferably with baking soda in it. this will just help to soothe the pain. unfortunately as soon as you get out of the water the pain and itch will come back but this is what i do when I'm desperate. \n\ni can't actually tell what your problem might be. i would suggest using vaginal cream rather than yeast infection cream, just because I'm not so sure that you are describing a yeast infection.\n\nbest of luck! if you can get to a store, i would talk to the pharmacist and they might more know what you need. good luck!
