Blood clot in nail
I had my nails hit between the doors of the car which caused bluish clot in my nail. After a day, swelling and redness and also the bluish is spreading throughout the nail. I get instant relief while putting an ice pack but after that the pain repeats. The thumb is highly swollen and painful. Doctors suggested taking Disperzyme and vit c, is it fine without these medication? Is there any way to reduce the swelling?

Yes Disperzyme is good for swelling and you can take any painkiller also along with it. This is hematoma beneath the nail and probably this nail will die and grow again. No need to worry just continue ice pack application and medication for 7 days.
