Children with broken toe caps should be treated with conservative or surgical treatments in combination with the severity of the injury.
1. Conservative treatment: mainly for children with minor injuries, only part of the toe cap is ruptured, conservative treatment measures can be taken for the time being. On the one hand, disinfection of the wound can be carried out, and iodine povidone can be used to disinfect the wound. On the other hand, children should be less active or inactive, which can reduce the pulling on the trauma, improve the pain situation, and be conducive to recovery.
2. Surgical treatment: If the damage to the toenail is obvious, there is obvious bleeding as well as broken toenails, etc., surgical treatment is required. Mainly remove the damaged toenail, repair the damaged nail bed and stop bleeding. Post-operative treatment is combined with antibiotic medication such as penicillin to ensure recovery of the wound. As long as there is no damage to the nail bed, the toenail will usually grow back again.
In order to have better treatment results, it is recommended to seek medical attention early and under the guidance of a doctor.
