从脚趾甲内生、脚趾甲真菌感染这样相对轻微的感染,到脓肿、蜂窝织炎这样更严重的皮肤感染,都属于脚趾感染的范围。脚趾感染可能严重恶化,甚至引起关节或骨骼感染。虽然浅表感染通常较为轻微,可以简单地在家处理,但严重的感染是需要就医治疗的。你必须知道如何区分这两种感染,因为严重的感染需要由医生进行诊断,确保不会恶化或扩散。
步骤
- 评估症状。有时,你很难分辨脚趾感染的类型和严重程度。它有可能只是脚趾甲内生,也有可能是会扩散到身体其他部位的严重感染。为了进行区分,你需要评估自己的症状。
- 轻度感染的症状和体征包括疼痛和(或)压痛,肿胀、发红及感染部位发热。[1]
- 严重感染的症状和体征包括化脓,从最初伤口处延伸出红色条纹,发烧。
- 如果你有严重感染的症状,请就医治疗。严重感染症状包括化脓、伤口延伸出红色条纹和发烧。如果你有任何上述症状,要立即就医治疗。[2]
- 严重感染可以从脚趾扩散到身体其余部位,甚至会让你休克,并危及生命。因此,严重感染必须由医生尽快诊断。
- 判断浅表脚趾感染是否能够在家治疗。如果你没有任何严重症状,只是略感不适,那么感染或许就可以在家治疗。和治疗其他类型的轻伤一样,应该清洁受伤部位,使用抗生素,并将受伤部位包扎几天。如果情况有所好转,那就继续这样治疗。
- 如果你彻底清洁了受伤部位,使用了效果良好的抗生素,包扎了受伤部位,并且一直保持清洁,但疼痛感却依然没有减轻,甚至反而加剧或发炎,那就得就医治疗了。
- 如果感染很轻微,看上去不会严重危害健康,你仍然可以到医院挂号,看一下医生。你要学会自己判断严重程度,但记住谨慎为好,安全第一。
