Does a toenail infection spread ?
Patient: My 7 month old daughter has an infected toenail and the infection came out today. I am going to soak it 3 times a day and put antibiotic cream on it. At what point would I need to take her to the doctor. I freak out a lot bout ingrown toenails because there was a cop in my town who died from and infected toenail because the infection spread. What would be signs of it spreading. Doctor: Do not worry. Death is not common after toe nail. But still as your daughter is only 6 months old, i would recommend you to get show it to doctor as soon as possible. putting antibiotic solution with infection still inside will not going to work rather can create resistant among bacteria  for drugs.Thanks
