Questions about surgery for ingrown toe nail and pediatrist?

If I call a pediatrist tomorrow to talk about getting the surgery for ingrown toe nail,





Do you think I can get in tomorrow and have the procedure done?





Will they do the procedure if my toe nail is infected?





About how much does it cost?





I have heard it's very painful as well as it is not painful at all, what did you think?





Right now it's getting difficult to walk because it's so infected, inflamed and painful.

If there is an infection you will need a course of antibiotics first.After that they may do a partial(just the sides) or a full removal. The partial removal is very easy and may not require any freezing.Some people do this themselves. The full removal will require a local anaesthetic. A needle in the top,sides and the bottom of the toenail. This may be very uncomfortable but it's over pretty fast. After they do the removal there will be some bleeding so be careful for a few days. You will have to clean the area and keep it bandaged for a few days.The worst part is when the anaesthetic is wearing off. You may have some shooting pains as your nerves wake up. Only for a few hours though. The actual surgery doesn't hurt at all. It's a lot better then an infected toe. When the nail begins to grow out. it may be a little sore. Make sure you grow out the edges or you will get it again. Always cut straight across. Never cut down the sides. honestly though. It's not that bad.


As for the cost I have no Idea. Sorry. Good luck.!
