What is the best option for an ingrown toenail removal for a 7 year old?

Your question is not very specific. A seven year old can be taken to a surgery center and sedated for this procedure. It is not uncommon

Depends on the toe. I often put the kid on antibiotics for a few days and soaks to see if the irritation will calm down. Then a nail wedge procedure done in the office under local will help it heal if it doesn't clear with soaks/meds.
