Torn toenail of a toddler
In the case of a toe nail tear in a toddler, special care should be taken to cut the toe nail as far as possible or to prevent further tearing by applying a plaster or small bandage. However, infants like to play around with the bandage or tear the plaster.This should be avoided. You can also repair the nail with a nail repair set.
In addition, adequate hygiene should be ensured and the toes should be observed to detect inflammation in time. Furthermore, suitable and comfortable shoes should be worn to ensure that the nail can grow back healthy. As a preventive measure, the toenails should be cut back cleanly on a regular basis. In case of deep tears and inflammation a doctor can be consulted.
