Suggest Remedy For Toe Pain
Well, my big toe was hurting today and I just thought I hit it in my sleep, and it was red but I did not think there was anything wrong. I decided to check if it had any puss in it because when I touched it it ,like, squished. and when I scraped the side of my nail with a needle where the toe has the white stuff is it pussed up. I don t know what is wrong. can you help me? Thank you!!!

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
since you said you had just a pain and nothing more than that I will advice you to do hot water fermentation and do simple finger exercises.
also, if you have used any metal or such for it you may have to take tetanus injection.
from a personal note I will advice you to not use needles or sharp objects or self medication. looks easy to get rid of temporary issues but if later on goes wrong than difficult to understand the actual scene.
I will advice you to check your foot wear also as there are chances for shoe bite as well.
keep your both feet in warm water and clean it properly. avoid keeping long nails for toe as shoe may apply a pressure and get some small soft tissue Injury as well.
if you find the symptoms to prolong over some more days kindly meet up a physician and get checked once.
with the grace of God I wish you a good health
