What should I do about a bloody nail?

Talk about a bad week, I caught bronchitis, then I slammed my finger in my car door. My nail is now black and can move around but it is still attached to my finger. This happened on Wednesday, so the blood has dried. When I cut the nail today the blood was still packed underneath the nail. The best way to describe it is pressure between my nail and finger. Is there any way to make the nail less black and and not feel as pressured? Read more of this post

I burnt my finger on an oven tray almost two hours ago. I have kept my hand in a bowl of cool water since, which seems to alleviate some discomfort, however when I take my hand out of the water for any extended period of time (I’m talking about a minute, maybe two) it is intensely painful and feels like it is still burning – really really hot.

Ear Wax Removal with Debrox?

For Debrox ear drops, after dropping it in the ear, are you suppose to clean out all the gunk left from the ear drops? Or are you suppose to leave it in there?

Any advice or help on how to help it heal?

It’s on the part of the ear closest to her head facing her back. I was cutting a mat off of it when she moved and I accidentally cut a little into her ear. It’s not too bad, just a little cut. She didn’t yelp or move at all after I did it, actually I wouldn’t have known I did it had I not looked. If it really hurt her I think she would at least make a noise, she’s a giant wuss when it comes to scary things. Read more of this post
