Don't put lemon juice on it if the skins broken.

I wonder if you put some lemon juice on it it would stop him from chewing on it and give it time to heal up, depends how infected it is though.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:27:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288751&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288751 <![CDATA[thumb getting infected cos chewing on it : My friends daughter had this a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288721&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288721 Author: mummy_becks

My friends daughter had this a few weeks ago. She ended up having to have some cream put on it and a plaster. It really hurt her as well.

My brother used to suck his thumb so hard it got permanent callouses and always had a big red lump on it ]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:13:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288617&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288617 <![CDATA[thumb getting infected cos chewing on it : Ella had an infection on a finger...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288502&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288502 Author: Andie

Ella had an infection on a finger (and she was a constant finger-sucker), the Paed said if it wasn't down in a couple of days (you could see the infection well under the skin, IYKWIM) to give her oral antibiotics.

Ashlee got this, too! Though her teeth made a big lump on her thumb, it didn't get infected. It did look really sore and was hugely inflamed, but it seems to have mostly gone now. We didn't do anything with it.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:24:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288467&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288467 <![CDATA[thumb getting infected cos chewing on it : Maybe use propolis tincture on...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288162&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288162 Author: DJ

Maybe use propolis tincture on it? It has antibacterial properties and will be ok for him to ingest a little bit?

If this doesn't improve it, I probably wouldn't wait too long before using an antibiotic ointment, but maybe he shouldn't eat that. You could talk to a pharmacist?]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:47:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288162&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288162 <![CDATA[thumb getting infected cos chewing on it : Jeremy has decided to grow teeth...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288045&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288045 Author: Spudling

Jeremy has decided to grow teeth which is a good thing but he has taken to chewing on his thumb and what was just a scaby thumb last week is starting to get infected.
Any ideas on what to do]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 07:05:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13982&PID=288045&title=thumb-getting-infected-cos-chewing-on-it#288045
