Introduction
In general, for paronychia, intravenous medications may include ceftriaxone sodium for injection, metronidazole injection, fluconazole for injection, ceftazidime for injection, and cefazolin sodium for injection, as prescribed by a physician. If any physical discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. In daily life, self-medication should be strictly avoided to prevent adverse effects and potential harm to health.

Generally, for paronychia, intravenous medications may include Ceftriaxone Sodium for Injection, Metronidazole Injection, Fluconazole for Injection, Ceftazidime for Injection, and Cefazolin Sodium for Injection, used according to medical advice. If any physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Ceftriaxone Sodium for Injection

Paronychia is a common skin infection usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Ceftriaxone sodium is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, effective against various bacteria. Therefore, using ceftriaxone sodium for injection under medical guidance can effectively control the infection and promote recovery.

2. Metronidazole Injection

The main active ingredient in metronidazole injection, miconazole nitrate, has broad-spectrum antifungal activity. When used under a doctor's guidance, it can inhibit and kill fungi causing paronychia, such as Candida albicans and molds, by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, preventing normal growth and reproduction, thereby achieving therapeutic effects.

3. Fluconazole for Injection

Fluconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class of antifungal drugs. It is effective against various fungi, including Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Aspergillus species. If paronychia is caused by a fungal infection, fluconazole for injection used under medical supervision can control the fungal infection and achieve treatment goals.

4. Ceftazidime for Injection

Ceftazidime for injection is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with strong antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli. When administered as directed by a physician, it can rapidly and effectively control infection, alleviating symptoms of paronychia such as redness, swelling, pain, and pus formation.

5. Cefazolin Sodium for Injection

Cefazolin sodium is a widely used antibiotic belonging to the first-generation cephalosporins. It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective in treating various infections caused by susceptible bacteria. When used under medical guidance, it can effectively control paronychia infection and reduce the risk of complications.

In daily life, self-medication should be strictly avoided to prevent adverse effects and harm to health. Additionally, it is recommended to consume foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, such as eggs, lean meat, tomatoes, apples, etc., to provide necessary energy and help maintain overall health.

Paronychia refers to inflammation of the tissue around the nail, often caused by bacterial infection. In its early stages, when symptoms are mild, paronychia may only present as slight redness, swelling, and pain in the tissue surrounding the nail.
