Help with a 'dying' nail....?!


Question: My 2 year old son got his finger slammed and now his nail has turned all purply black. I know he'll be losing it eventually but what do I do to keep it from getting ripped off before it falls off? He's extremely active and won't keep a bandaid on--the worst thing he could do would be to rip it off--that would probably be more painful than the initial injury. Help!

Athletic tape? I had the same thing..........tape it up or wrap some sort of bandage around it in the mean time. Also clean the wound!!!!!!!!!!!

i think you should take good care of the nail sooo it doesn't get worse.....
take him to the doctor so they can give your son something for it..


hope i helped
