How can you tell when paronychia is healing?

Slowly: If it has been soaked frequently in hot water and has drained, the swelling should gradually decrease along with the redness and tenderness. It may take a week or two to resolve entirely, but if you are not seeing steady improvement, let a doctor see this.
