What Could Be The Cause For Infection On The Finger Tip Associated With Severe Pain?
Hello, I have a small ball of infection on my fingertip, not finger pad. Almost like an infected sliver except I have no sliver of something in there. Its been two days now and it has just been growing. There is a sharp, shooting pain whenever it hits something straight on.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection of the finger.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to use a cycle of antibiotics such as Augmentin.
In case that the symptoms continue, I recommend to consult a surgeon.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
