like if im using the remote control it hurts is it ok to not do anything and just deal with it.. I wish I could take it out what do I do? can it get infected and then they will have to cut my thumb of or is it something minorI accidently got a small woodchip inside the fingernail of my thumb it hurts if I press with my thumb?
Leave it for now. If the pain is only when you apply pressure, then leave it alone. Poking around at it will only make it worse, and possibly cause it to splinter further.
Keep an eye on it and if you see any redness or swelling or pus, then get straight to a doctor or pharmacist. Also if the pain increases.
However your body will probably just work it out and you won't even notice.I accidently got a small woodchip inside the fingernail of my thumb it hurts if I press with my thumb?
You need to have the wood chip removed, try to cut away the nail to get to it and remove it. It will not get better until the irritant is gone. Then soak in salt water and keep clean until it heals. As long as it's in there you could get an infection. If you can't get it out you should go to the doctor.
Maybe soak your thumb in water? The skin should naturally start to push it out if you do.
Try to use your other hand in the meantime, if possible, to not aggravate it further.
depends were the woods from to determine how bad it is going to get....you should get some tweezers and pluck it out then clean your nail really good kk oh and it sounds like its a minor injury
