How to Completely Cure Paronychia

Common radical treatments for paronychia:

1. Medication: For paronychia without pus formation, if caused by bacterial infection, topical medications with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties can be used, such as fusidic acid cream or compound polymyxin B ointment. Oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium tablets and clarithromycin tablets are also effective options.

2. Local treatment: When paronychia is accompanied by abscess formation, incision and drainage are usually required to remove the pus. If the affected nail is significantly involved, partial or complete removal of the infected nail may be necessary.

3. Improvement of lifestyle habits: Avoid wearing tight shoes and socks, maintain foot hygiene, trim nails regularly, and avoid injuring the perionychium to reduce the risk of recurrence.

4. Surgical treatment: Recurrent or severe cases of paronychia may require surgery, such as partial or complete nail avulsion, to eliminate the source of infection.

During treatment, follow the doctor's instructions carefully. Even if symptoms have resolved, ensure complete eradication of the pathogen to prevent recurrence.
