If it is infected you need to take him to the doc to get it treated and get the nail trimmed back. Not sure what time it is by you but if you can still get in to the docs office yet today then take him in otherwise take him to urgent care.My son has an infected hang nail on his big toe, What can i put on it.

Soak his foot in a bowl of warm water with Epsom salts (found in the pharmacy.) This should clear out the infection and drain it. Then dry the toe, apply Neosporin and a bandage.
My friend and dad both had this.





both tried antibiotics and it wasn't strong enough so both had to have the toenail removed. it grows back though.





take him to the doc asap if caught early enough antibiotics may work. over the counter stufd doesn't.





best of luck to the little guy!
Don't mess around with home remdies, keep it clean and take him to the doctor. Infections can kil.
