Toe nail ripped off.
After my toe nail ripped off accidentally while I was moving a wooden table, I removed then nail fully and applied savlon antiseptic liquid and betadine n covered it with cotton and bandage for a night.
Coudnt sleep last night bcos of the discomfort & pain. Now I removed the bandage.
1. Kindly suggest if this can get well without putting bandage everyday. Can I keep the toe open?
2. Also please suggest some medicine, painkiller, antibiotic for easing the pain & cure at the earliest.
Since your toe nail got ripped off there is a invreased chance of infection to your nail bed.So, I would suggest a topical antibiotic for application.
Yes you can leave the toe open provided if you dont go outside often/bare foot
