How To Get Rid Of Lump On Toe?

Hi! my son was outside yesterday and he came in and told me to look at his toe. He's only 4 so he's not able to tell me what happened or what bit him but It's a lump with puss and I squeeze to let out the puss and it's been three days now and it hasn't gone away yet. I have been putting antibiotic on it too. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your son may have some injury on his toe. Injury with secondary infection can leads to lump with pus formation. He may have some abscess formation. So he should go for incision and drainage of that pus filled wound then he need antibiotics treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
