Panatirium is an infection that affects the tips of the fingers. It can be painful and feel like the affected area is about to burst. Pain is difficult to relieve, especially if children are infected. This is a serious condition that must be treated immediately, as slowness can lead to the loss of a finger, nail, or even a hand.

Steps

1. 1 Watch for common symptoms:
   • Swelling around the nail
   • Redness
   • Rash
   • A blister filled with white pus, or an abscess shape near the nail
   • Softness and pain that increases if left untreated
   • Fever or chills may also be present
2. 2 Seek treatment. See a doctor immediately. It is likely that you will be prescribed antibiotics and a blister punctured to clear the pus. If left untreated, the infection can become very severe.
   • Take your prescribed antibiotics exactly as directed.
   • Bandage your finger with a soft, hypoallergenic bandage. Change the bandage frequently, at least daily.
3. 3 Use pain relievers to relieve pain. Drugs such as Panadol or Tylenol should help reduce pain and infection.
4. 4 Soak the affected area. Be sure to check with your doctor before doing any of the following:
   • Fill a bowl halfway with warm water and halfway with liquid antibacterial soap. Soak your finger for 15 minutes, 3-4 times a day. It is better to start doing this as soon as redness appears around the nail.
5. 5 Take preventive measures. So that there is no recurrence of the infection in the future, the following must be done:
   • Use clean towels and change all linens.
   • Stop biting your nails or sucking your fingers.
   • Wear rubber gloves if your hands are in the water for a long time.
   • Wash your hands frequently if you are working with irritants such as soil, compost, chemicals, and if you have frequent cuts and scrapes.
   • Be careful when cutting your nails to avoid damaging your skin.

Tips

• Herpetic felon is due to a viral infection, not a bacterial or fungal source.
• Eat healthy foods to speed up your recovery.
• Panatirium can also affect the toes.
• Take Hahnemann calcium sulfide (homeopathic remedy).
• Panaceria can be caused by biting nails, sucking fingers, washing dishes, manicure, diabetes, exposure to chemicals, or work that requires frequent hand contact with water (eg, dentist, nurse, doctor, makeup artist, etc.). Fungus is another reason.

Warnings

• Never burst the blister; this will increase the pain and spread the infection to other sites.
• Improper treatment can result in permanent damage or loss of the finger.
