my daughter is 25 years old and a juvenile diabetic. she has a splinter under her finger nail. it has been 3days and now there is small amount of drainage at the finger nail. Her doctor s office is closed till tommorow and wondering what we can do in the interim.
Hello, If it looks infected at all (redness, swelling, pus) or if she has a fever then she needs to be seen today, so I would take her to ED or to an urgent care. If there are no signs of infection she can wait to be seen tomorrow. There is nothing to do in the meantime. Regards
