I pulled a hang nail from my finger a couple of days a go and now its VERY tender some pain, swelling and redness what can I do besides antibiotics?

Besides medications, try these remedies at home.

  • Apply ice wrapped in a napkin or plastic bag on the swollen finger. This will help to reduce the swelling and pain effectively.


  • Apply turmeric on the finger and cover it with cotton. Turmeric has antiseptic properties which will help to fight the pain.
    If there is pus formation in the finger then consult a specialist to avoid further infection.
