I use a needle: When these come into the office it is often because parents have not been able to get them out. I rely on magnification/light & the business end of an injection needle to scoop the splinter out. If it is superfical enough, i don't need to numb the area with anesthetic. If the splinter is very small and the kid has no pain while walking, you could leave it alone. Some will work themselves out.

Go to your pediatric: Or go to an urgent care to assess it. If it is small enough, do nothing may be ok. Otherwise, may need special instrumentation to remove it.
