How to reduce swelling of toes

Generally speaking, swelling of toes is caused by an inflammation called paronychia. Since paronychia has a certain resistance to drugs, applying medicine to relieve the condition is ineffective for paronychia. However, the presence of paronychia will make your toes painful, red and swollen. Therefore, the treatment method for swollen feet after the symptoms of paronychia appear becomes something that everyone wants to know.

In clinical medicine, there are generally two reasons for the formation of paronychia. One is that the patient does not trim the toenails round when trimming them, and the other is that the patient does not clean the gaps between the toenails thoroughly. If the toenails are traumatized, bacteria will enter and induce the occurrence of paronychia. So, how should the swelling of the toes be reduced?

Paronychia is not only painful but also a headache. Applying medicine is useless. The first task is to squeeze out the pus. Make sure to squeeze it out cleanly. There may be a stinging sensation during the process, but you have to bear with it! Then rinse it with hydrogen peroxide, and finally disinfect it with iodine. Remember, don't let your toes touch water for at least two days.

Ingrown toenail is a common disease. It is usually caused by the toenail infiltrating into the nail groove and repeated infection, which leads to persistent pain in the nail groove. The cause of ingrown toenail is related to factors such as too short and too deep nail trimming, wearing too tight shoes, and trauma. For cases with mild inflammation and short course of disease, iodine tincture can be used for disinfection or alcohol compress, or silver powder powder and hibiscus paste can be applied externally; for those with suppuration, Jiedu Qingre Decoction can be taken, and Huadu San ointment can be used locally. Shengdan bandage can also be used. However, satisfactory therapeutic effects are often not achieved. Severe cases require surgical treatment. After surgery, avoidance of some factors that cause ingrown toenail can prevent recurrence.

How about it? After reading this article, I believe you have understood how to reduce the swelling of toes caused by paronychia. It is worth noting that in daily life, you must take good care of and clean your feet in daily life to prevent paronychia from causing swollen toes.
