Injury undernail with infection how to take care if?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Like any other: Infection: drainage, antibiotics if necessary, rest, and elevation. If there is any foreign material (such as splinter or dirt), it needs to be removed. Go see a doctor so he can take care of it for you.
