In daily life, everyone should pay attention to the disease of paronychia, master its nursing methods, and prevent paronychia. Pregnant women who suffer from paronychia may feel very painful, but many pregnant women are not very clear about the care of paronychia. So, how should pregnant women take care of paronychia?
Pregnant women with paronychia, if the condition is relatively mild, can first wash their hands and feet clean, disinfect them with tools, cut off the nail tips embedded in the flesh, and finally trim the nail into a curve.
If the condition is severe and inflammation or swelling has already occurred, it is necessary to go to the hospital for nail removal surgery depending on the situation. Pay attention to keeping the affected area dry. It is strictly prohibited to soak dressings or wounds. Once the dressing accidentally gets wet, it should be disinfected immediately and wrapped again. Patients with foot diseases should not wear shoes that are too crowded to avoid squeezing the affected area. If going out, they should also try to wear loose and soft slippers.
Secondly, pay attention to preventing bleeding. If the condition of paronychia is severe and has already undergone nail removal surgery, then before the wound heals after nail removal, attention should be paid to rest, avoid vigorous exercise, and prevent the wound from splitting and bleeding. Once bleeding symptoms occur, it is necessary to lift the affected limb, wash hands, and apply pressure on the affected area. If conditions permit, ice compress for fifteen minutes can help reduce swelling at the wound site.
Correct nursing has a positive effect on improving prognosis and promoting rehabilitation. It is recommended that patients with paronychia choose regular hospitals for comprehensive and effective treatment and nursing.
