Our toddler is 14 months old and closed a sliding door on her toe. the toenail appears to be loose. do we leave it to fall off on its own or do we pull it off?

Exam!: Due to the possibility of an infection I encourage you to take your toddler to a Medical Clinic or Urgent Care center as soon as possible to have her toenail checked. In such a young child a possible infection could be very dangerous unless treated quickly and properly. I wish for the best for the health of your child!

Pediatric urgent cre: Please see pediatric urgent care. Prevention of infection and preserving the nailbed as much as possible should be considered.
