Ingrown Toenail in Children - Causes, Symptoms & Remedies
If your child's toe looks all red and swollen, it may be because of an ingrown toenail. Ingrown toenails commonly occur in children. If your child is wearing a pair of tight socks and tight shoes, then he may have ingrown toenails.
In some cases, it is an inherited tendency. Sometimes, an ingrown toenail can cut through the skin and may lead to various infections. Certain home remedies can prove beneficial in fixing the disorder, provided you take action fast.
What is Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail happens when a toenail grows abnormally or when the corner or edge of the toenail starts curving inwards into toe’s soft skin which can trigger pain and infection due to all the bacteria that typically dwells around in and around the feet. The toe may appear red, swollen, and tender particularly around one of its corners, generally the big toe.
Causes of Ingrown Toenail in Children
Some of the causes of ingrown toenails in children include:
1. Cutting Nails Inappropriately
The most common cause of ingrown toenail is trimming nails too short. When a nail is cut too short, the surrounding skin may cover the ends of the nail, as a result, the nail may grow back in the skin. Nails which are torn instead of cut may also become ingrown as they lack defined corners. Further nails that may have been cut in a rounded form than straight across can become a reason for them to break into the soft toe skin.
2. Ill-fitting Shoes
Tight shoes are another probable cause of an ingrown toenail. If your child's feet are growing fast and he wears the same old shoes, then he may have an ingrown toenail. A pair of ill-fitting shoes can thrust the soft skin on the corners of the nail to move over the nail, driving the nail to develop into it.
3. Toe Injuries
If your child keeps stubbing his toes frequently, then he may have ingrown toenails. Also, if a baby or toddler loses his toe due to some injury, the new nail may grow unhealthily than a prevailing one.
4. Stress on the Toe
Stressing the toe by kicking a football over and over can even result in ingrown toenails. Children who indulge in plenty of physical sports have higher chances of developing ingrown toenails because of persistent torment to the toes.
5. Heredity
If your child has ingrown toenails without any possible reason, then it may be because of heredity. Some people are born with oddly curved nails which place them at an increased risk of developing this illness often.
Symptoms of Ingrown Toenails
Common symptoms of ingrown toenails are mentioned below.
A painful toe
Swelling around the affected area
Redness around the edge of the nail
Pus formation or liquid discharge
Foul odour
A warm sensation
Home Remedies for Ingrown Toenails
If your child's toenail is not infected, you can treat it with home remedies. You can try the following remedies for ingrown toenails:
Soak your child’s affected foot in warm, soapy water to reduce swelling and pain. Let him immerse his foot in this solution twice a day for about 20 minutes.
While the affected foot is in the water, massage the inflamed portion of the cuticle lightly away from the nail.
Apply an antibiotic ointment on the affected area to provide relief from inflammation and to prevent infection. Do this 2 to 3 times daily for a week.
You can dip a cotton bud in olive oil and use it to propel the skin gently away from the ingrown nail.
Tips to Prevent Ingrown Toenails in Your Child
Some useful tips to help avert the problem of ingrown toenails in children are given below.
Check your kid’s toenails from time to time like after baths to be able to detect any signs of an ingrown toenail.
Make sure you trim your child's toenails properly; they should be in straight line and not too short.
Ensure that your child wears a pair of shoes that fit him perfectly. Also, take note of the shoe width along with the correct length.
Educate your child about how to maintain good foot hygiene. Ask him to keep his feet dry. Changing socks frequently is essential if your kid’s feet are prone to excessive sweating.
Refrain from digging out the nail or ripping it out as it can heighten the incidence of ingrown toenails.
When to Consult a Doctor
If you have tried the above remedies but they are not working, it is time to consult a doctor. You may want to consult a paediatrician if your baby has the problem of ingrown toenails. In case your baby has ingrown toenails, look for the following signs:
Bleeding
Oozing of pus or any discharge
Bad smell
Extreme pain
Your doctor based on the condition of your child’s foot may propose a minor surgery wherein he may be required to cut off the corner of the affected nail so that the infected tissue can heal easily. The doctor may also suggest a course of antibiotics.
FAQs
Some frequently asked questions regarding ingrown toenails are given below:
1. How Long Will Ingrown Toenail Last?
It usually depends on the severity of the case. Sometimes, a child may have ingrown toenail for several weeks. However, if there is no visible infection, home remedies may exhibit a significant improvement in the condition within a few days.
2. Will the Ingrown Toenail Come Back?
If you do not take proper care of toddler ingrown toenail, your child may face this problem again. The same stimuli that may have activated an early ingrown toenail can cause the condition to return.
If your child has an ingrown toenail, he must be in excruciating pain. Unfortunately, an ingrown toenail is a common condition in kids and can make playing, running, and even putting on shoes difficult for him. This condition can linger on for weeks and may get infected if not cared for properly.

Bleeding after Miscarraige
A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the twentieth week. A miscarriage is no doubt a devastating event and heart-wrenching especially when you have been preparing yourself to welcome the new addition to the family. Unfortunately, but proven from research, 10%-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriages. While a miscarriage is common, it can be extremely painful and cause of grief for a mother, both physically and emotionally. The process of dealing with it involves a lot of mental and physical courage and well sought medical advice. It is completely normal to experience pain and bleeding after a miscarriage. But as every natural illness that affects the body, miscarriage is also a phenomenon that your body can deal with.
What Does Miscarriage Bleeding Look Like?
Vaginal bleeding is the most common sign of a miscarriage. Very light in colour, almost close to spotting and nothing more at times the bleeding can be much heavier than a normal period. These signs of miscarriage bleeding might last for a few days or even a few weeks. The bleeding could also be characterized by blood clots, either large ones or small ones or even discharge that looks like tissue. Continued bleeding after miscarriage could also be accompanied by cramping. You may experience pain in your abdomen, either light pain or heavy pain, almost alike contractions experience during labour. There have also been women who have had a miscarriage without any signs of it; they come to know about the death of the foetus during a routine ultrasound but have had no signs of bleeding to warn them.
How Long does the Bleeding Last after a Miscarriage?
The uterine mucosa which gets damaged, after a miscarriage, causes bleeding and abdominal pain. This bleeding generally lasts only for about two weeks. The severity of the bleeding could differ in women. It could be barely noticeable or severe, but the symptoms are often similar to those of a menstrual period. It is advisable to use pads to mitigate the risk of infection as tampons are not very hygienic to stem the bleeding. If you use more than one pad in an hour, then you need to immediately seek medical advice. Changing a pad every hour indicates the potential for haemorrhage. Severe bleeding may require surgery or a blood transfusion to stay healthy.
Miscarriage bleeding generally does not last for more than two weeks. Bleeding which lasts for more than two weeks calls for a visit to the doctor. It could mean an incomplete miscarriage that might need your tissue has to be expelled. The doctor will need to determine it is an incomplete miscarriage and suggest a surgical procedure to correct the problem.
Your periods will normally come back to their normal cycle within 3 weeks to 5 weeks after a miscarriage.
What is Abnormal Bleeding after Miscarriage?
Miscarriages bleeding that occurs for more than two weeks after a miscarriage occurs is considered abnormal and needs investigation. An incomplete miscarriage signifies that all of the tissue is not passed completely and requires medical intervention. Most bleeding tapers off, becomes lighter and scant quickly after a miscarriage. If you saturate a pad every hour, then it is a warning sign and should be investigated.
What is Incomplete Miscarriage?
When a baby dies in the uterus, the body does not always expel the foetus or placenta completely. In such a case, the miscarriage is called “incomplete”. The uterus cannot heal if there are some remains which need to be cleared surgically. An incomplete miscarriage presents the following signs and symptoms
Signs of Incomplete Miscarriage Bleeding
Dilated cervix
Heavy bleeding where you soak one pad in an hour
Presence of tissue in the uterus determined via an ultrasound
Severe cramping and pain
Water retention
Flu-like symptoms
The most common sign is heaving bleeding and cramping lasting for weeks which indicates that there is more tissue remaining in the uterus which needs to be expelled. An incomplete miscarriage usually requires surgery or prescribed medications to finish the process.
Complications of Post-Miscarriage Bleeding
There are some complications associated with miscarriage bleeding. Low red blood count, anaemia, is one of the most common complications. In very rare cases, a low blood count could call for blood transfusion. Any infection in the uterus which remains untreated could cause a scarred tissue inside the uterus and fallopian tube, causing interference in future pregnancies. Choriocarcinoma, a rare cause of bleeding after a miscarriage, is cancer that stems from a placental tissue or following a molar pregnancy, in which the placental tissue develops into an abnormal mass. This is generally treated via chemotherapy.
Treatment for Abnormal Bleeding after a Miscarriage
Treatments differ according to the type of miscarriage. In some cases, doctors suggest medications be administered orally or vaginally to help the miscarriage progress naturally. This will help the placental tissue pass faster within a couple of weeks. If a doctor diagnoses a piece of leftover tissue from the miscarriage in the uterus, he or she might perform a dilation and curettage, commonly referred to as D&C. The procedure is conducted under general anaesthesia, where the uterus is scraped of any tissue remains.
When to Call the Doctor?
Miscarriage bleeding can vary significantly from one woman to another for no particular reason. It is absolutely common and normal to bleed for a week or two after a miscarriage. Most cases, bleeding is accompanied by cramping. However, if you seem to bleed heavier than what you are comfortable with, you must get in touch with your doctor. If bleeding persists even after two weeks, then medical intervention must be sought as it could be mean an incomplete miscarriage where the tissue has not been expelled completely.
Management of Bleeding After Miscarriage
Once you have suffered a miscarriage, the bleeding will take a while to stop completely. It is best not to insert anything into your vagina, and sanitary pads are the best and most hygienic options to stem the flow of blood. Complete rest and lots of sleep are advised, and you could take over-the-counter painkillers to manage pain. The body must clear all the contents of the uterus, and any left-over pregnancy tissue could lead to an infection. You must rush to your doctor if you experience the following symptoms:
Bleeding that lasts longer than two weeks
Severe cramping and pain
Heavy bleeding than normal
Fever or flu-like symptoms
Foul smelling or unusual vaginal discharge
Managing Life Once the Bleeding Stops
A miscarriage is not just painful for the body but to the mind too. It will take you a while to recover from the loss. But it is not impossible to move forward, and there are ways to help you overcome the setback.
Physical Recovery:
There is no doubt that the uterus is under stress after a miscarriage. In the case of an incomplete miscarriage, the uterus has to undergo a surgical procedure, and it will take some time to heal. The primary step to recovery after any miscarriage is adequate rest. Many women heal faster and can conceive in a month after suffering a miscarriage. But in some cases, it could take a year. Let your body heal completely before you plan your next pregnancy.
2. Emotional Recovery:
The psychological impact of a miscarriage is undoubtedly far more than the physical impact. The period of bleeding after a miscarriage can drain you emotionally as you are constantly coming to terms with the loss. You are likely to feel a sense of guilt, frustration, anger or grief. The hormonal changes that the body is experiencing only aggravate the situation. Many women suffer from depression too. Try to seek help from your partner or husband and stay in constant touch with your loved ones. Try to join a support group or consult a counsellor if you feel depressed and unable to deal with the situation alone.
Miscarriages are not rare. It affects a majority of pregnant women and does cause some devastating effects on the mind. Take your time to deal with the loss and be a constant support to your partner while seeking his help too. It is not impossible to conceive after a miscarriage. Take your time to recover and start trying to get pregnant again, once you are ready physically and emotionally. Read more

Dealing With a Colicky Baby- The Challenge and Lessons
The journey I am going to talk about is very close to my heart. My baby is currently 9.5 months old and a very different baby from what she used to be earlier. Being a first time mom, is challenging as it is but what to do if your very first baby happens to be colicky?
After my C- section, I was discharged from the hospital on the third day. We brought home a beautiful baby girl and I thought it was a dream come true. However, the dream bubble bursted within a week when my baby started showing signs of colic.
She would cry and cry and cry. Moreover, it was not a whining kind of cry. She would cry inconsolably and turn red in the face. Sometimes, I feared that she would get breathless due to crying. I would like to mention that my milk did not come in for the first week so, I had to bottle feed my baby right from the first day. Later on, when the milk supply was established we switched to bottle feed as well as breastfeeding. Now, I know, there would be many moms out there who would judge me for this but I feel every mom wants the best for her baby and how you choose to feed your baby is your right!
I would also like to clarify one more thing, yes it is true that bottle causes your baby to swallow more air and yes, it can cause gassiness but it is not a sure shot reason for colic. Right in my family, I have seen an exclusively breastfed baby who had colic too. Also, there are two more babies of my daughter's age who are exclusively formula fed and guess what? They do not have colic.
Let us now come to how I dealt with colic and you can too:
First of all, be strong and remind yourself that colic is temporary. It will get better for sure.
Secondly, it is very important to burp your baby after feeding. It does not matter whether you breastfeed or formula feed.
Hold the baby upright for 20 minutes at least after feeding. This helps release the gas through burps and also prevents acid reflux.
Did you know? Regurgitation could be the cause of your baby's crying as well. So, do not overfeed your baby. Read on the Internet and also consult your doctor as to how much and how frequently should you be feeding a formula fed baby.
There will be people around you who would tell you to feed the baby each time he or she cries, please avoid that. Your baby might be crying because of a dirty diaper or might be tired or plainly bored in the same room. Take them out, burp them, put them down for a nap if you feel your baby has just been fed.
Learn the techniques to relieve baby's gas. I used to cycle my baby's legs, use tummy time and put hing oil on her navel apart from all mentioned above.
Another thing is using anti-colic bottles. They minimize the amount of air swallowed by your baby.
If your baby is especially fussy in evenings try to give them a warm bath in evening instead of morning. It relaxes them. You can also do sikai of their tummy using a warm washcloth.
Also, overstimulation is one big cause for colic. So, keep the environment relaxed with some light music, talk to your baby gently, use some essential oil in a diffuser on evenings. This will help your baby feel relaxed too.
Baby carrying helps with colic too. Keep your baby close to yourself and upright when they are fussy. It helps, trust me.
One last method that I suggest for putting a colicky baby to sleep is to swaddle them and either feed them or swing them gently in a hammock. Put on some white noise on your phone or buy a white noise machine.
I am very sure that a combination of these tips will help you get through the challenging phase of colic relatively smoothly.
Lastly, I would request family members of a colic baby to not be judgemental about the mom if the baby cries too much. She is tired and heartbroken as it is from seeing her newborn in trouble. So, all she needs from you is help and support and not your nosy comments!

Social media making you really social or stressing you out?
Remember the time when we as kids used all our play time outside, talk with friends, enjoy the delicacies at neighbor Aunty's house, playing time ended with the darkness of the day, played freely without any fear of safety with all the children in the colony or bhaiya and didi's! Our mommies bought a new thing, it was immediately shared with friends around, whenever she tried hands on a new recipe and a full bowl reached our neighbors place. Our fathers also even after coming back from a busy day at office, tried spending time with other uncles sharing the talks over a cup of tea! So, there was a time when we were actually social.
The life these days has become very fast. Everyone is busy struggling to keep ahead in this race and hence, not able to devote much time with family, friends, neighbors or our social circle. At right time, the social media platforms had taken up the position. Since most of us are far from our family and friends, it sometimes helped to share and know about each other and ended the distances. But gradually it penetrated strongly in our life! Rarely face to face but we all started updating and sharing aggressively about our daily life and activities on Facebook, whats app, twitter, Instagram, etc. We cooked something new or went to a restaurant, we were more focused taking a perfect pic to sent the update though we tasted the food ordered later. We went for an outing but instead of enjoying the place or the moment, we posed at our best to capture the most for updating rather than making memories. The outfits we wanted to look cool in to a party but we flaunted it to update for fb or insta. Its not that I was not a part of all this but at a point in life, it made me and may be many others to realize that its better to enjoy that particular moment of life than to update. Yes, it is important to capture for reanimating the memories but not to capture everything to update even to the extent of mapping with false carried expressions. Not only this but once updated, we are really into this again and again multiple times to check the comments, likes or views though it may keep us engaging but it's also true that it provides stress because someone who was dear to us did not liked or commented on our special post. Now-a-days it feels like people want to more advertise than to share about their happy wedding, expensive buys, foreign trips, their achievements or everything or anything. But please remember that not everyone will be happy at your achievements or updates and that most of the comments appreciating or appraising you would be just 'fake' . Somewhere its truly written that showing every good page of your life may attract an evil eye; you believe it or not but it may sound true at some point in your life. So, its always good to keep a part of your life private. Also, it takes a toll on our productive time, our time which we would have actually spent with our family or friends but we were busy scrolling down the fb or insta pages!
Every new platform, new app, new technology surely benefit us but when we start creating a dis-balance; it may ruin our life, our relationships, our special moments. Keep updating but bring a balance. Those people who are going deep into this just start trying it once and you will feel the difference! Read more

A. usually fixed. better to show to specialist always as they get the correct diagnosis. try to avoid self and extra medication that will only complicate this and create more damage to the child

A. You should have started going from the very beginning itself once you get to know you’re pregnant but since you haven’t reached that now if you’re pregnancy has been healthy last five months please get it checked with your doctor also if you need to start with any supplements or diet the doctor would advise you after a ultrasound so please visit your gynaecologist
