Swelling and pain at the edge of the nail cap is considered to be related to onychomycosis, which can be relieved by topical medication, oral medication and surgical intervention.
1. Topical medication: Nail infection is mainly caused by bacterial infection, and can be treated by applying compound polymyxin B ointment, mupirocin ointment and other anti-infective treatment. You can also give ichthyol ointment, golden yellow loose paste and other compresses.
2. Oral medication: antibiotics such as amoxicillin and cefixime can be taken orally, or sensitive antibiotics can be selected in combination with drug sensitivity test.
3. Surgical intervention: If there is a fluctuating feeling locally and an abscess is formed, surgical incision and drainage can be chosen to drain out the pus.
Swelling and pain at the edge of the nail cap should seek medical treatment in time, and use medication or other treatments reasonably under the guidance of the doctor, do not use medication privately.
