[|Human|] My wife is a recoving brain injury patient at home now. We have go out on more errands than usual lately and she has some mild to medium adema in her feet, from sitting in her wheel chair more often than usual. There is fuild coming from under her big toe nail, appears from all sides of the nail. Should her feet be elavated more than usual or is there a chance of an infection?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, it must be an infection. Infection only can cause fluid to come out. I advise you should do Grams staining from the fluid coming out from the nail followed by the culture and sensitivity from the fluid. Once the report is available to you, treatment can be possible thereafter. Antibiotics should be chosen as per the report. Please do regular cleaning and Chat Doctor.  This will control the infection. You can use Betadine and detail on the wound. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
