After the thumbnail is removed, it takes about 3 to 10 days for the wound to recover, and several months for the nail to recover.
Nail extraction is a treatment for nail damage caused by onychomycosis, nail trauma and other factors. Surgical wound recovery time is shorter, usually about 3~10 days can return to normal. However, the growth of nails takes a longer time, mostly 2~3 months. The specific recovery time is related to the patient’s wound recovery, post-operative care and other factors.
It should be noted that for more serious infected nails, antibiotics such as cefaclor and amoxicillin should be taken to control the infection, promote wound recovery and shorten the recovery time. If the patient has any uncomfortable symptoms, should actively seek medical treatment, follow the doctor’s instructions, the drug should be applied under the guidance of the doctor.
