How to Treat Painful Thumb Swelling with Pus?

Pls my daughter has this swell on the thumb with pus in it ,very painful Pls what medication should I get for her ??

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

It might be a infection that can be sometimes caused by bacterias or other microorganism. In my view, you need to see a dermatologist. They may prescribe antibiotics or tell you to open and wash a puss from the swelling. Next steps include making sure the area is kept clean and covered which can slow down the spread of the infection.

I am a 28 year old male and I had a bump to appear under my lip like a week ago. I’ve had cold sores before and the area were the bump appeared had a burning sensation before it appeared I point some cold sore ointment on it but then assumed it was just a pimple and attempted to bust it and clear fluid drained from it but it came back and it seems like it’s getting smaller but I want to make sure of what it really is ….I would like to send a picture and get your opinion

You may have a cold sore outbreak. Cold sores are the result of the herpes simplex virus which can cause burning, bumps, and fluid-filled blisters on or around the lips. Trying to pop a cold sore can make it worse. You can utilize antiviral creams or ointments to help it heal faster.

I have recently had scrotum exploration survey 32 hours ago and was wondering how long before it can get wet and would it be okay to smoke cannabis. Also i have been prescribed to take 3 co-amoxiclav a day for 14 days, what other pain killers can i use.

Male | 18

It is suggested that a person waits at least 48 hours after they have explored their scrotum before getting it wet. This is to prevent infections. In addition, one should refrain from smoking marijuana while they are recovering to facilitate healing. If you are still experiencing pain, you could take paracetamol or ibuprofen alongside co-amoxiclav.

Currently I am having fungal infection in thighs, can I do exercises for tomorrow for weight loss current weight is 65 kg with age 17

Male | 17

Fungal infections in are­as like your thighs cause redne­ss, itchiness, and rashes. These­ infections thrive in warm, moist environme­nts. It's crucial to avoid exercises until the­ infection clears up. Sweat can worse­n the condition. To treat it effe­ctively, keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Use an antifungal cream as directe­d. Wear loose, breathable­ clothing. Once the infection re­solves completely, you can re­sume exercise­s for weight loss without concerns.

I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.

Male | 21

A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

Iam 20 years old female. I want to know about eyebrow hair falling. I loss upto about 8-10 eyebrow hair daily. Is it normal or not to loss eyebrow hair. This is happening for about 1-2 months. Iam also facing excessive hair loss but I want to know why my eyebrows hair is falling.

Female | 20

Experiencing a little bit of eyebrow hair loss is a common aspect of hair thinning as well as it happening in some other fiber(-producing) areas. The possible causes of this condition include the tension you are under, hormonal irregularities, or a lack of necessary nutrients. Onesigh of the difficulty may be because of false eyelashes. Daily shedding of a few is normal, but if it makes you anxious, all the way go through it. To have a healthy hair development, first of all, make sure that you provide your body with all the essential vitamins and minerals with the help of the balanced diet.
