Im curious how you would conduct this procedure with a toddler aged 3? Chances are they'll be scared and not sit still, what would the protocol be to remove the ingrown toe nails because they're feet are in constant pain so you have no choice.
Depending on the severity of the ingrown and considering any previous treatment received, would determine which procedure would be appropriate. Medical staff is very good at distraction for younger patients when necessary; that and calm reassuring parents. Regarding pain, the pinch from the numbing agent is what the patient feels. Post procedure, (next day) there can be some discomfort easily addressed with something over the counter for pain relief. Thanks for watching our video.
Thank you for your question. Our staff is experienced in assisting with all procedures on children of all ages. If a nail removal is indicated, especially if an infection is present, the procedure can be seemless. Yes, children can be anxious, however, a calm reassuring parent is essential. The pinch of the numbing agent is what is felt and lasts only seconds. The procedure itself is not felt. Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for watching our video.
I appreciate this video. My 9year old has the same issue. We just completed a 10 day round of antibiotic and the infection has gone down. We see a podiatrist 6/13 and this helps understand what to expect.
I have provided a link that may help you prevent recurring ingrowns. You mention the "whole" nail was cut. In our clinic, when indicated, we will remove the whole nail. I think that's what you are referring to. Factors that can contribute to an ingrown nail developing are improper toenail trimming, toe injuries, tight-fitting shoes, and of course genetics. Review the link and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching our video. pediatricfootankle.com/foot-conditions/ingrown-toenails/
