Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I have a question. our 13 yr old son has a swollen right big toe. He does not remember jamming it, or hurting it. It s swollen and red. The nail is not discolored and has no other pain with his feet. I checked for holes, puncture wounds. None to be seen. What else can I check?
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The swelling in the toe can be because of any trauma or nail bed infection or insect bite. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(If you are not allergic). I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
